Pet Grooming on the Move

For many people, pets are as beloved as a family member. They provide unconditional love, companionship and playful interaction. As visits to a veterinarian are important, it is also a good practice to have pets frequently groomed so they stay healthy. Without regular baths, dogs and cats can be open to ringworms and mites, and infections in the nose, mouth, eyes and ears. Unbrushed fur or hair can become matted and cause discomfort, and untrimmed nails could possibly lead to arthritis. Therefore, pet grooming is more than an indulgence or luxury service, it is a necessity.

Unfortunately, the increased demands on people’s time make it difficult for them to schedule trips to the local groomer. Aussie Pet Mobile of Windermere, which serves Bay Hill, Celebration, Clermont, Dr. Phillips, Gotha, Longwood, MetroWest, Ocoee, Windermere, 

Winter Garden and several other areas, makes pet grooming easy and convenient by coming to pet owners’ homes.

“In addition to providing the highest quality of grooming services, our main focus is the convenience and satisfaction of our clients,” said Mansour Garemani, franchise owner of Aussie Pet Mobile of Windermere.

With his fleet of three fully self-contained and environmentally friendly vans, Garemani guarantees the ultimate grooming experience that will accommodate each client’s schedule and desired location. The vans are solar-powered, which cuts down on the diesel used to create the electricity. The mobile grooming vans do not connect to clients’ water or electricity supply, as is the case with some mobile grooming businesses. The vans are thoroughly cleaned after each visit; and a complete sanitation process, which entails taking all equipment out of the van, is conducted weekly.

Furthering its commitment to operating green, and in the best interest of pets, Aussie Pet Mobile staff members only use natural, biodegradable and eco-friendly products in the 15-step mobile grooming spa treatment. The spa treatment includes eye cleaning, nail clipping, brushing out of knots and debris, shampoo, first rinse, ear cleaning, brushing out loose hair, second rinse, towel dry of the body and face, pet-friendly high-velocity blow-dry, brush out and deodorization. Additional services include a de-shedding treatment, aloe skin care, pad treatment, shave-downs, puppy cuts, clips, flea and tick shampoos, Frontline control, teeth brushing, therapeutic shampoos and de-skunking.

“The prices we quote are always the ones the customer pays,” said Garemani, insisting the groomers do not pressure or upsell services or products while on-site.

Prices are determined based on the breed, size and type of pet. Visits are always followed by a phone call to make sure the customer was satisfied with the grooming experience.

Garemani is diligent when choosing groomers who work at Aussie Pet Mobile. Four of the five groomers have completed an intensive nine-month educational program and earned certification from the prestigious Florida Institute of Animal Arts, which is one of the few accredited dog grooming schools in the U.S. FIAA is a testing center for the National Dog Groomers Association of America for their national certifications. The fifth groomer has extensive years of practical and managerial experience in the dog grooming industry. All groomers also undergo a background check.

In addition to the time-saving factor and convenience of having Aussie Pet Mobile come to one’s doorstep, the reduction of stress pets experience is well worth the price. Unlike other businesses that offer grooming services, pets are not sitting in a cage for four to five hours next to dogs they do not know; they do not need to have any special shots, since they are the only ones being groomed; and the absence of noises and other activity eases any fear the pet may experience. Because of the way the vans are designed, pets can look out the window and see familiar surroundings. Owners can watch the grooming process; however, it is not necessary for them to be present. In addition, groomers stay with the same pet for subsequent visits, establishing a trusting relationship with both the pet and owner.

The passion Aussie Pet Mobile groomers have goes beyond their job. Many volunteer their services at various local shelters. Garemani also donates grooming services to Florida Little Dog Rescue Group.

Aussie Pet Mobile accepts appointments daily from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. For more information, call 407-797-0900 or visit www.aussiepetmobile.com on the Web.
