Bow Tie PETCHECK™ — Your McKinney Pet's Early Warning System
Every mobile grooming appointment in McKinney 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 McKinney-area 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 for McKinney pet parents: 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 was great with our dogs! She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Left our dogs feeling silky soft and smelling super fresh! Pups loved it too!"
"Bow Tie Groomers more than met my pup’s special needs for gentle handling and specific care after my little one was traumatized by a previous groomer and after healing from major hip surgery. I appreciated so much not having to hand over my pup all day for unobserved unknown handling by teenagers that have little experience. Thank you for the relief my pup and I experienced after this positive grooming session. She is ready for the summer."

Preparing for Your Mobile Groomer's First Visit in McKinney
A little preparation goes a long way. Here’s what to know before your mobile dog groomer arrives at your McKinney home:
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 — especially for a first mobile groom.
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 when our van pulls up.
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.
Mobile pet grooming works especially well for anxious dogs, reactive rescues, senior dogs with mobility issues, cats who’ve never been groomed, and doodle breeds whose coats demand specialized attention. Your McKinney pet stays home, stays calm, and gets a complimentary PETCHECK™ Wellness Scan with every appointment.

Is mobile grooming good for anxious dogs?
Yes! Mobile grooming is ideal for anxious or nervous dogs. Helen specializes in anxious pets and uses gentle, patient handling techniques.
Benefits for anxious dogs:
- No stressful car rides or travel anxiety
- No exposure to other animals or salon chaos

Many anxious dogs who hate traditional salons do much better with mobile grooming. Your pet stays relaxed at home while we bring the salon to you.
Do you groom cats in McKinney?
Yes! We offer mobile cat grooming in McKinney starting at $125.
Cats especially benefit from mobile grooming because there's no stressful car ride or exposure to dogs. We use gentle, low-pressure & low-noise techniques and work at your cat's pace. Perfect for cats who hate travel or become anxious easily.
How long does a mobile grooming appointment take?
Most mobile grooming appointments in McKinney take 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on your pet's size, coat type, and the services selected.
First visits may take a little longer as we take time to get to know your pet and make them comfortable. Here's how to prepare your dog for their first appointment. Every appointment includes one-on-one attention from start to finish — never rushed, never passed between groomers.
Unlike traditional salons, where drop-off and pickup can stretch into 3–5 hours, mobile grooming is far more efficient. There's no waiting — we arrive, groom your pet right outside your home, and you're done. You can relax at home or continue your day while we handle the rest.
Do I need to be home during the grooming?
Yes, for your first appointment. We'll meet you and your pet, discuss coat needs, and answer any questions.
After that, many McKinney clients share gate codes or access instructions so they don't need to be home. We'll text you when we arrive and again when your pet is finished — it's that easy and stress-free.
