Once upon a time, going to the groomer felt like waging an epic battle. Our beloved doggy spent hours cooped up in a cage under fluorescent lighting listening to other dogs barking and howling while awaiting his turn to be tortured (um, we mean groomed). But it doesn’t have to be that way. Putting pup through trauma and battling Denver’s gnarly rush hour traffic to the groomer and back is for the birds. Ditch the brick and mortar and try out one of these 7 options for Denver mobile dog grooming.  

1. Mobile Pet Shine: The Curbside Pet Spa

It’s important to note that some contractors only offer basic bathing and drying, so woof ahead before you book.
