What “Health-First” Means Here

Helen — Lead Groomer, 10+ years — built these standards from inside the van. Every choice below is something she's learned by watching dogs and cats, not by reading a brochure.

Crowded salons are stressful for pets and a real vector for canine respiratory illness, kennel cough, and stress-related skin flares. By bringing the van to you, we sidestep those risks entirely. Here is how:

One Pet at a Time

No cages, no crowds — only gentle one-on-one handling for a calmer and safer experience.

Clean Tools & Surfaces

Equipment, tools, and touchpoints are rigorously sanitized between every appointment.

Products that Care

We stock hypoallergenic and conditioning lines; we can also use vet-recommended products you provide.

Limited Daily Schedule

Only six appointments per van per day means more time for thorough sanitation and wellness checks between grooms.

Sanitation & Safety Standards

Behind the scenes: Between appointments, Helen wipes down the table and tub with hospital-grade disinfectant, swaps the towel set, runs combs and shears through tool-bath solution for full contact time, and re-mats the floor before the next dog steps in. The cleanup is the reason your dog gets the same clean spa whether they're the first appointment of the day or the last.

Tool Disinfection Between Appointments
Combs, blades, shears, and attachments are cleaned and disinfected after each pet. Fresh towels every session.
Quiet-Mode Drying & Noise Awareness
We use quiet settings and build in breaks for sensitive or senior pets to keep stress levels low.
Low-Slip, Clean Surfaces
Tables and tubs are wiped down and mats are replaced routinely for traction and hygiene.
Allergies & Sensitivities
Tell us about allergies or skin concerns in your booking form and we’ll select the gentlest compatible products.

Products & Ingredients We Reach For

We choose formulas that are coat-safe, effective, and thoughtfully scented (or unscented).

Hypoallergenic Lines

Dye-free, fragrance-light options for sensitive skin and allergy-prone pets.

Conditioning + Moisture

Deep conditioning masks, jojoba oil, and panthenol to maintain skin comfort.

Targeted Treatments

From de-shedding to odor control, we add only what your pet truly needs.

Bring Your Vet's Pick

Bring what your vet prescribed for your pet — we'll work with that, not just our cabinet.

Included Free With Every Mobile Grooming Appointment

Bow Tie PETCHECK™ — Your Pet's Early Warning System

A complimentary nose-to-tail wellness check on every visit. We see your pet's skin, coat, ears, teeth, and mobility up close — and spot visible changes early, before they become serious.

  • Skin & coat scan (dryness, irritation, mats)
  • Ears (cleanliness, redness, odor)
  • Nails & pads (length, cracks, hotspots)
  • Teeth & breath notes
  • Behavior & comfort cues
  • Product plan & add-on suggestions when helpful

Bow Tie PETCHECK™ is informational and never a medical diagnosis. We’ll always suggest a vet visit for anything concerning.

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

"From beginning to end Helen's focus was on my George's well-being and comfort. She explained the whole process in detail — this was his very first groom — and took her time to make sure he felt safe. His fur is so soft and he smells so good!"

"Helen was extremely professional and treated my English Bulldog gently. Her van was exceptionally clean. I asked if she had specialty shampoos — she pulled out almost anything we could need, and I picked one for sensitive skin. Within 30 minutes my boy was clean and his nails trimmed up!"

"Helen was wonderful. Goose looked so handsome after his haircut. She was so sweet — explained everything she did and sent pictures while he was with her."
