Q&A with a Dog Groomer

Please tell us about yourself.

For many years I have been passionate about dogs, all breeds and mixes of all sizes. Dogs love spending time with their humans. And dogs look to their humans to provide for their basic needs, food, shelter, companionship and care.

I trained as a Dog Groomer and Dog Trainer 10 years ago and have enjoyed helping people and their dogs ever since.

Why start a pet services business?

I was inspired to make it easier for dog owners by bringing the Grooming Salon to their door. The Mobile Grooming Van can come and groom your pooch almost anywhere as it is fitted with its own power and water supply.

The Salon is fitted with a heated hydrobath (warm water and shampoo gets through the coat to the skin) and a high-velocity dryer, which loosens dead coat and dries the skin and coat, helping to eliminate bacteria. The salon is air-conditioned for the comfort of your dog and the groomer.

What do you love about your job?

I enjoy meeting and talking to dog owners about their dogs’ grooming needs, which is of great benefit, as a bond begins with your dog and I prior to the grooming process.

It is important that our dogs are groomed regularly to keep them healthy and happy.  Clients can book in for weekly, fortnightly or monthly grooms. This helps with deshedding dead hair for double-coated dogs and or the reduction of matting occurring in the mixed coated and oodle coats. [An oodle is a curly-haired mixed-breed dog, with one poodle parent.]

Our active and beach-going dogs can enjoy having a healthy coat while looking good, having their nails trimmed regularly and paws and pads kept free of sand matts.
