#2: Wagon Wash

Do you prefer mobile grooming services?

If so, this might be the 1 for you.

Wagon Wash brings its services straight to your house. 

Therefore, you won’t stress out your dog on car rides. Also, you can ensure that your fur baby’s in a safe place.

The staff doesn’t use cages. Plus, they’ll groom your pooch only a few meters from your home.

Meet its owner, Llayne Padgett.

She’s a member of the ‘Holistic Pet Association.’

The group believes that:

“…a pet’s emotional well-being’s as important as their physical safety.”

Thus, Wagon Wash has strived to give Fidos stress-free experiences since 2017.

Also, Llayne’s team’s part of the ‘National Dog Groomer’s Association.’

So you can expect caring and skillful staff.

Not to mention, their vans run on ‘compressed natural gas,’ a.k.a. CNG. Which is an eco-friendly option over gasoline.

(More bonus points!)

Now, their grooming rate depends on the size of your Fido.

You can use the table below as reference:

Dog’s size	Price
Extra small	$65
Small	$85
Medium	$95
Large	$105​
Giant	$120

Besides grooming, Wagon Wash also offers:

#3: Mobile Doggie Den Grooming

Here’s another mobile grooming shop to consider.

They began in 2014. But to serve Fidos in a more intimate setup…

Doggie Den started going on wheels in 2022.

This setting’s a plus for parents who can’t easily leave their fur babies in shops.

As they can see their dogs outside their house – getting groomed.

In most reviews, Mobile Doggie Den prides itself on its:

• Reasonable prices.
• Friendly and professional staff.

The attendant and groomer are also gentle with dogs – especially nervous Fidos.

Dawn, the owner, loves working with all breeds. May it be small or big.

So, she and her team will treat your pooch like their own.

Offered services (with base price)

Service	≤15 lb (≤6.8 kg)	16-34 lb (7.3-15.4 kg)	35-75 lb (15.9-34 kg)	≥76 lb (≥34.5 kg)

Bath & Tidy	$65	$80	$110	≥$130
Bath Only	$50	$60	$75	≥$100

Note: These might vary due to discounts or other situations stated by the owner. Also, you’ll add an extra $10 for deshedding.

Sadly, Mobile Doggie Den doesn’t do schedules only for nail trimming. As the single procedure costs them more money and time.

But if you plan to book an appointment for full grooming…

“Are their services available throughout Albuquerque?”

Based on their website, they don’t serve the following places:
