How long does it take to groom a dog?

Unlike conventional dog grooming experiences like Petco, mobile dog grooming has become a more convenient, efficient, and practical option to having your dog groomed.  The typical conventional style of dropping off your loved one and waiting for an expected pickup window is not only out dated, but is ultimately counterproductive, and problematic for scheduling around everyday life activities.

In this article we will break down not only how much it cost to have your dog groomed at Petco, but also the advantages of transitioning to a mobile groomer such as Pups "N" Bubbles.

Conventional dog grooming process such as Petco: 

1. Preparation 

2. Travel

3. Arrival / Check in

4. Drying / Cage Drying

5. Pickup

Preparation

Problem:

Preparing for a visit to your local groomer can be tedious, exhausting, and problematic.  Hiccups happen, life gets in the way, and scheduled appointments can be easily overlooked.

Solution:

By using a mobile groomer you can now eliminate all of the unexpected events that may lead to your dogs appointment being missed. Since your mobile groomer is coming to you, you'll have the luxury of forgetting about logistics, unexpected hiccups, and problematic scheduling conflicts.    

Travel 

Problem:

Traveling and ensuring your able to meet your appointment can add unnessary stress to your life.  

Solution:

By using a mobile groomer, you no longer have the worry of being late, or worse being charged for a missed appointment. The script has been changed, it's now the groomers responsibility.  Like Pups “N” Bubbles, other mobile groomers should be transparent and accountable.  We understand and value the most important commodity available, time. 

Arrival / check in 

Problem:

Hate lines?  Do you find that check-in processes can be annoying, inefficient, and yet just more of a waste of your time.  

Solution:

When you decide to use a self-serviced professional groomer such as Pups “N” Bubbles, you'll instantly receive the benefit of skipping the dreaded process of checking in.  Once your grooming appointment is confirmed, a professional groomer will come knocking on your door at the agreed upon time. Convenience is now the name of the game.

Drying / Cage.   

Problem:

Drying can be, if not the most upsetting portion of your dogs experience. By using a service like Petco, your animal may be placed inside a cage dryer, so additional animals can be thrown into the money making machine. This isn't fair to the emotional health of your pup.

That said, by the end of your dog’s grooming do you find that your dog is stressed out, not acting as normal? Is it noticeable that something is off? This very well could be one of the many reasons why.

Solution:

Most mobile groomers, use a cage free approach when drying your animal. By using this method, you’ve instantaneously improved your dog’s grooming experience and emotional well being.

Pups “N” Bubbles, and many other mobile groomers work one on one with your animal exclusivity. This means that over time a healthy trusting relationship is being built between your pet and groomer. You can think of this as a therapeutic spa endeavor for your dog.

Pickup 

Problem:

Are you noticing that the time window that your local dog shop is constantly inconsistent? Does picking up your pup always seem like it's interfering with other plans throughout the day? Have you ever been in a scenario where when you arrive to pick up your dog, you come to find out they still are not finished?

Solution:

Using a mobile dog groomer also means you get to leave a pickup window in the past!  When a mobile groomer arrives the typical start to finish time during a grooming session is between 1hr and 1hr and 30 minutes.
