Bow Tie PETCHECK™ — Your Pet's Early Warning System
Every mobile pet grooming appointment includes a complimentary nose-to-tail wellness check. We see your pet's skin, coat, ears, teeth, and mobility up close every visit — and we spot visible changes early, before they become serious. When we find something, we alert you with photos so you can follow up with your vet.
During Every Groom, We Check For:
- ✓ Coat & skin condition (dryness, irritation, hot spots)
- ✓ Ears (odor, redness, discharge)
- ✓ Gums & teeth (inflammation, tartar)
- ✓ Paws & nails (splitting, overgrowth, pad cracks)
- ✓ General comfort & mobility (limping, stiffness)
Why this matters: With regular grooming visits, we get to know your pet. We notice subtle changes over time that might go unnoticed at home — and alert you early so you can follow up with your vet.

Helen noticed something unusual on Rolo during a PETCHECK™ and urged us to see the vet right away. So grateful she pointed it out.

Preparing for Your First Visit
A little preparation goes a long way. Here’s what to know before your mobile dog groomer arrives:
1
Tire Them Out (a Little)
A walk or play session an hour or two before the appointment helps burn off nervous energy. A tired dog is a calmer dog.
2
Feed Early or Wait
Feed at least two hours before the appointment, or wait until after. Some dogs get anxious on a full stomach during handling.
3
Keep the Morning Normal
Dogs mirror your energy. Same breakfast, same walk, same tone of voice. The calmer you are, the calmer they’ll be.
4
Potty Break + Leash Ready
Let them relieve themselves right before we arrive, and have a leash and collar ready — even for well-trained dogs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mobile pet grooming service?
With mobile pet grooming, we bring the salon to your driveway. Your dedicated groomer bathes, dries, and styles your pet inside our fully-equipped van — no stressful car rides, no cages, no waiting rooms. Bow Tie currently runs two vans across North Texas.
Is there a mobile dog groomer near me?
If you're in Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Prosper, or The Colony — yes. Bow Tie brings professional mobile dog and cat grooming right to your driveway, seven days a week. Text (469) 636-5549 to confirm your address.
Do you offer cat grooming near me?
Yes. Cats generally hate car rides and loud salons, so our mobile cat groomer comes to your driveway instead — starting at $125. We groom cats throughout Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Prosper, and The Colony. Text or call (469) 636-5549 and we'll confirm availability at your address.
How far in advance should I book?
We open new availability every month and popular times fill quickly. If you're flexible, we can often fit you in sooner — please ask!
How much does a mobile pet grooming service cost?
We estimate pricing based on your pet's breed, size, and services requested, using our experience with similar breeds and coat types. New clients save $30 on their first appointment. For more details, visit our Rates & Packages page.
Do I need to be home?
Yes, for your first appointment. We'll meet you and your pet, discuss coat needs, and answer any questions. After that, many clients provide gate codes or access instructions so they don't need to be home. We'll text you when we arrive and when your pet is ready.
How long does a grooming appointment take?
Most grooms take 1.5-3 hours depending on your pet's size, coat type, and services needed. Because we're one-on-one, your pet gets our complete attention the entire time—no cages, no waiting. We'll text you updates and when we're finishing up.
Do you groom anxious or senior pets?
Yes! We specialize in senior and special-needs pets. Helen has extensive experience with aging pets, including those with collapsed trachea, mobility issues, and medical conditions. One-on-one mobile grooming is calmer than a busy salon, and we work slowly with comfort breaks as needed.
What if my pet has never been groomed before?
We take extra time to make your pet comfortable, work at their pace, and use positive reinforcement. Our mobile setup is less intimidating than a busy salon, and one-on-one attention helps anxious pets relax. We'll start slow and build trust. First visits may take slightly longer as we get to know your pet.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Life happens! We require 24-hour advance notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Just text or call us and we'll find a new time that works for you. Same-day cancellations are charged a $75 fee to cover our schedule. See our full Cancellation Policy for details.
