About mobile dog grooming services
The vans carry their own water, heating and power, though some ask for an outside tap. UK grooming is unregulated, so insurance and qualifications are still the checks. Expect to pay a premium over a salon, and to book ahead, since a mobile groomer fits fewer dogs into a day.
