Dog’s Best Friend

Take the bite out of taking your dog to the groomer by having the service come to you.

One thing we all agree on in Vancouver is that summer is too short. In order to optimize your trips to the beach, the people behind the Aussie Pet Mobile aim to reduce pesky errands, which could be the answer to your dog’s dreams.

It’s quite simple. The mobile truck comes to your home and provides a full service 15-step spa groom for your pet—while you’re in the backyard playing with your kids. From nail clipping and teeth brushing to tick removal and flea treatments, your dog will be, well, fetching by the time their truck leaves.

We love that this franchise, started in Australia in 1996, uses solar powered energy for its trucks, environmentally friendly products, and less water than regular groomers.

If Rufus is not the social butterfly that you are, a day at the groomers can be a traumatic experience. Having a one-on-one experience with an expert groomer, and no cages in sight, will have him licking his chops.

And if you’re more of the feline persuasion, they have a service for cats, too.

Make the most of what’s left of summer while your pet is getting groomed for the fall.
