What The Pup

About

What the Pup was started with the aspiration of a calm and comfortable environment where I can form stronger connections with the pups I groom while providing customized yet beautiful haircuts that fit their everyday lifestyle. The overall health, well-being and comfort of your dog is of utmost importance to me, which is why I am a American Kennel Club Certified S.A.F.E groomer.

Frequently asked questions

• How does mobile grooming work?

  We set up an appointment time with a 1 hour arrival window. I will let you know when I am on the way and give an estimated time of arrival. When I arrive, I discuss services and expectations, then take your pup to the van for their spa date and walk them back to your front door when done. Payment is due at this point.

• How long will it take?

  This is dependent on your dogs breed, their coat length and condition, behavior, temperament, as well as how long you go between grooms. Each dog is different and has a different tolerance level for the process. Rushing does not result in a quality groom.

• Why is mobile grooming more than a pet salon?

  We offer a one-on-one all inclusive service that comes to you. There are no up-charges for filing nails, specialty products, teeth brushing or other services. There are no cages or kennels, everything is done by hand at a pace your dog is comfortable at.

• Do you have weight limit?

  There is no weight limit. All pups are welcome as long as they are able to move around and get on the table if they are too overweight or too large to pick up without assistance. Each dog is different so we take dogs in on a case by case basis.

• Do you do cats or other animals?

  Not at this time.

• What vaccinations does my dog need?

  We only require proof of up to date rabies vaccine so we only accept puppies as young as four months old. However, we highly recommend fully vaccinating all your pups.

• What forms of payment do you accept?

  Cash, check, and all credit cards. For latch-key service, we can send invoices through venmo or square.
