How we do work

Ear Cleaning

First we pluck or trim any excess hair then we use ear cleaning solution and a cotton ball to gently clean and sanitize your dog's ears.

Nail Trimming

We provide the choice of clipping or grinding your dogs nails. We do our best to work with whatever style makes the dog comfortable.

Prep for Bath

We need to insure the dogs coat is prepared for bathing. For this we use combing, brushing techniques. As well as de-shedding or de-matting.

Bathing

In our warm water tub, we bathe the dog with at least two rounds of shampoo and apply conditioner for a soft clean smell.

Drying

For drying we use hand blow dryers along with combs and brushes.

Hair Cut

To bring home the process, we finish off by cutting your dogs hair appropriately and providing a sanitary trim which includes: paws, stomach, armpits, and "private" area.

We Confirm

Due to the fact that we're a mobile service, we look to create a route to maximize our business each day in the area we are servicing. This requires us to confirm each appointment we receive.

We Show Up To Your Doorstep

On the scheduled date of your dog appointment, we will send an ETA text message informing you that we are on the way. We will then arrive to your home with our fully equipped van. After figuring out what your dog's specific needs and quirks are, we are ready to groom your furry best friend!

The Finish Line

Once finished, we confirm that the grooming was done to your satisfaction. If you are prepared, we can also go ahead and schedule your dog's next grooming appointment at this point or consider adding them onto our recurring schedule
(every 4, 6, or 8 weeks).

Add-ons

De-Shedding

Removal of loose hair to reduce shedding and improve the overall appearance of the dog's coat.

De-Matting

Removal of tangles and mats. This can be a very uncomfortable process for the dog if not done properly.

Shave Down

When necessary, we remove the dog's matted coat by using a short clipper that can cut underneath the matted coat.

Relaxation

For more anxious dogs. This is a process of slowly calming the dog down and establishing trust with our groomer. This will help the dog to have a calmer grooming experience.

*Final pricing is always issued on sight. We do not take dogs 60lbs due to the size of our tub.

How we Price

Size

Our prices start at $105 for Small Breeds (Ex: Yorkies, Chihuahua, Maltese, etc.) and go up based on your dogs size.

Breed

Different breeds require different cuts. More specific cuts will result in more detail, which can be more time demanding.

Behavior

Some dogs may be easier to deal with than others. A dogs behavior (refusal to stand, constant moving, biting) plays a part into the final pricing.

Coat Condition

Dogs need to be mat free in order to enter the bath tub. Dogs in a poor condition (matted or excessive shedders) will require extra time and care.

*Final pricing is always issued on sight. We do not take dogs over 60lbs.

What our clients say about us

My dog is very difficult to groom, a Lhasa Apso with an aggressive attitude towards any type of grooming procedure. John has very patiently been working with him. Would definitely recommend him for anyone needing an experienced groomer.

Nelli and John have been grooming my Zoe for a few years now. They do a wonderful job and always treat her very kindly. if they see any problems they inform me so I can have it taken care of. Don't know what I would do without them.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Neli is the BEST!!! I have a Scottie who is VERY aggressive. He has been turned down by numerous groomers, but not The Pack Leader! Neli, with her special touch, was able to fully groom my Scottie - even his ears and paws!!! Neli and her husband truly take the time and care for your dog. They are very efficient at everything they do, I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY with my Mickey's new haircut!!! Thank you so much!

We've been using The Pack Leader for a couple years and they are the BEST! John and Nellie showed up the first time after our previous groomers moved out of state and it was like I already knew them. Very friendly people with a passion for dogs! They recently started to expand the business and added a new groomer, Laura. She is just as fantastic as John and Nellie and the pups love her! With 2 vans in operation now, they are slowly picking up new clients. If you haven't tried them yet and you are looking for a fast and friendly groomer that comes to you, The Pack Leader is the way to go!

John has been grooming my Mother's two cockapoos for several years. They always look amazing. They are excited to go with him! John has such a passion for grooming and his knowledge and skill shows with every groom. He shows the dogs in his care such respect and love. John actually inspired me to become a groomer myself! Thank you John for taking such good care of my Mom's doggies, making them look great, and for introducing me to my dream job!!

I've had a few nightmare experiences with pet groomers so I decided to switch to mobile grooming. I'm so happy to have found The Pack Leader! They take such good care of our beloved dog (who is older and suffered an injury) and the attention they give to his well-being is priceless. I would never go anywhere else and highly recommend their services. If you love vour pet as much as we do, give The Pack Leader mobile grooming a call.
