What is mobile dog grooming in Austin?
Mobile dog grooming is professional grooming carried out in a van parked at your address. At Lone Star Dog Grooming, that means three services, bathing, trimming, and nail care, done a few steps from your door. Your dog never rides across town, never sits in a kennel, and never waits in a room full of other dogs. You stay home, and the groom comes to you.
For a lot of Austin households that is the whole point. If you work from home, care for an older dog, have a puppy who is still learning to be handled, or simply do not want to spend a Saturday morning on I-35 with a wet dog in the back seat, mobile grooming removes the hardest parts of grooming day.
Three services, all done in the van
Book one service or combine them. Everything happens in the Lone Star Dog Grooming van outside your home.
Trimming
Trims and haircuts for coats that keep growing, done in the van at your door instead of at a salon.
More about trimmingNails
Nail trims on their own or added to a bath or trim, so long nails stop clicking across your floors.
