Determining The Best Mobile Dog Groomer NJ For Your Needs

By Juliette Cruz


While many people take their dogs to be bathed at groomers located in a building or part of a vet's office, more and more people are utilizing the mobile dog groomer NJ. These self contained units in vans or smaller motor homes come directly to your house and can take care of your pet's beauty needs quickly and with much less stress.

Some of the services that may be provided by these mobile canine beauty salons include bathing, trims and cuts, including breed-specific cuts, and flea or tick baths. Many people prefer the convenience of having someone else bathe their dogs, due to their own limited health issues, time constraints or temperament of the dog.

The vans are usually self-contained, but the operator may ask to hook up to your house via an exterior electric plug or water hose. They contain specialized tubs to safely hold the dog to get them wet and keep the operator as dry as possible. They typically will use special shampoos, formulated for dogs, or a special type if the dog has sensitive skin or allergies.

After the shampoo and rinsing, the dog is then towel-dried and then using a commercial blow dryer to help get the thicker underfur areas. Conditioners may or may not be added before or after the drying process. The groomer may also add some lightly sprayed dog cologne or perfume that is made especially for canines to help with the overall clean smell and appease the owners sense of well-being and happiness with the animal.

Other procedures are often done in the mobile grooming van to benefit the well being of the dogs. Cleaning out their eyes is one, especially in some dog breeds that tend to have eye discharge issues. Gentle cleaning can help the dog feel and look better.

Cleaning out the exterior part of the ear canal and ear flaps is usually done at grooming, as well. Some wax-removal liquid can be placed inside the ear and the wax gently worked out. Regular cleaning of the ears can help prevent ear infections or sore ears.

Nail trimming is also a very common thing you might have done in a mobile grooming van. For many owners, nail trimming can be upsetting to the animal and it makes the owners fearful of hurting the dog by cutting too close or worrying about the dog holding still long enough to get it done. Having someone professional take care of this chore is something desirable to many people. Many times dogs are much more likely to allow a confident stranger to clip their nails versus their owner.

While there are many options, choosing a mobile dog groomer NJ is best done by asking neighbors, friends or your veterinarian for recommendations. Maybe they use a particular person and have had good results, or they may steer you away from one that they have not received the best service and compassion from. It's always a good idea to check out their ratings, etc. Online and look for any bad reports. Your dog's health and safety are important for both of you.
