about us

My name is Amanda Bowman and I have always had a passion for animals.  When I was younger, I vowed to one day become a veterinarian. Having this dream, I decided to go to BCIT Vocational High School and immediately chose to study in the Veterinary Assistant shop. Thanks to my wonderful teacher,  I learned about animal health, behavior, and grooming. After graduating in 2003, I went into Petsmart, and applied to be a bather, with no real intentions of ever being a groomer. In under a year of bathing, I realized how fascinating and creative the grooming world truly was and decided to go to Grooming Academy. Today, I'm a proud member of the NDGAA (National Dog Groomer’s Association of America).

I have worked all over; from corporate to private, and now to mobile. Making the leap to mobile was a scary decision, but I felt the time was right. No matter the setting, the main goal has always been clear: the best safety and well being of your pet.

I’ve had a lot of owners stress to me how scared and anxious their dogs became in the car on the way to the groomer. Well they can now be stress-free! No more worrying about being in a cage for hours or if they’re being treated well. You now have the peace of mind of your pet being in a stress-free, caring, quiet environment right outside of your door!

Unlike your traditional grooming salon, I don’t churn out dogs in an “assembly line” fashion. I have an understanding for each of my clients and work around their needs. One on one. High standards and high quality! Feel free to call, text, or e-mail me today!

De-shedding Treatment:

Our De-shedding treatment is fantastic for those heavy shedders! The special De-shedding shampoo & conditioner is uniquely formulated and offers superior performance in de-shedding, conditioning and hygiene. This premium bathing solution addresses shedding at the core, enhances the effectiveness of our de-shedding tools, and even reduces future shedding when used regularly!

*De-shedding is automatically included in the price of the groom for all long-haired, double-coated breeds. Without a proper de-shedding, the groom isn't complete! This treatment will also be used for short-coated, shedding breeds, as needed.

 
 

 

Add On Services/Additional Fees:

Flea Bath $15.00

   We ask that your dog be flea-free at the time of service, so as not to infest our other pets. If your dog is found to have fleas at the time of service, this fee will be automatically added to your bill. Please note that we do not use chemical flea treatments; therefore, this bath will kill the fleas on your dog at the time of the groom, but will not repel fleas.

De-skunking  $10-$20  

   Price varies by size of dog & time spent. Please note that skunk smell is actually a “stain” on your pet’s skin & fur. Although we will do our very best to lessen the smell, even the best de-skunking methods sometimes do not rid the pet of the smell completely.

Matting $5.00+

   This applies to dogs who are matted, as it will take extra time and care to remove the matts by shaving. We charge by time and severity of the case.

Brush-out $15.00 per every extra 1/2 hour spent.

   This applies to dogs who need extra brushing to rid of the knots of hair or “save the hair” for a longer hair cut. Please note that this will not be possible for every pet. For the comfort of all of our pets, we will only brush-out dogs with light knotting.

Special Handling $5.00+

   We are very experienced in handling dogs of all temperaments and do our best to make them comfortable & happy during the groom. However, if your dog is overly aggressive or very hard to handle, this charge may apply.

 
 

 

Why Mobile Grooming?

 
 

I Come To You!

No more running around on your part! I come to your front door with our fully contained mobile grooming van, park and groom your pet on site. You don't even need to be home after the first appointment! We have our own power and water in the van, so no hooking up necessary. The van is also heated in the winter, and cooled in the summer.

 

Less stress on your pet

Grooming can be a very stressful process to begin with for your pet. Mobile grooming eliminates multiple barking dogs that a shop may have, long wait times, and other chaos that is sometimes involved with shops.

 

No cages

No cages are even required while your pet is being groomed because we groom your pet straight through. No more sitting in a cage for hours with no food or water.
