Unleashing a new era of dog grooming
Stress-Free
Our calm, private grooming space is tailored for your dogâs undivided attention. Ideal for anxious pups.
High Quality
Top-tier shampoos, vet-rated cleaning solutions, breed-specific brushes, and unmatched expertise.
Convenient
Forget the 4-hour trips to the groomer. We're at your doorstep on your schedule. It's grooming on your terms!
Grooming made simple for you and your dog
Bath
Our vans are loaded with fresh, warm water because baths are crucial to the grooming process. We use premium shampoos and conditioners tailored to your dogâs needs but if you have a prescribed medicated shampoo, we're happy to use that too (a small additional fee applies).
Blow Out
There are no cages onboard our vans. We hand-dry your pup from nose to tail. This process not only sheds excess fur but also preps those thick, furry coats for haircuts. Plus, it's a perfect time for your groomer to inspect your dogâs skin and coat for issues not readily visible.
Haircut
Every pup has their own style. Whether it's a neat summer shave or just a little off the top, your groomer will consult with you to match your requests while honoring your petâs health and safety.
Brush
Your groomer is equipped with the highest quality brushes, combs, and tools that suit your dogâs needs and ensures their fur ends up feeling as good as it looks.
Ears
We only use top-tier, vet-approved ear cleaners for your pup. Weâll pluck those floppy (or pointy) ears upon request (additional fee applies) and if we spot any irritation or infection, we'll let you know.
Nails
Maintaining the right nail length is crucial for your pup's health and well-being. We include nail dremeling (filing) in our service, but if your dog isn't a fan, we'll switch to clipping.
Teeth Brushing
We use vet-approved toothpaste and soft bristle toothbrushes to boost your pupâs oral health and freshen their breath. Your groomer will report any signs of poor dental health so you can address it.
Anal Gland Expression
Some dogs need more care in this department. Upon request, we'll provide this service at no extra charge. Unsure if itâs necessary? Your groomer will be there to advise, or you can consult your vet.
Thousands of wagging tails!
"The groomer came early, I like that because it gave us time to chat a bit. She was very nice, friendly, personable, and professional. This was my first time using the service and my dog Jelly came back to me happy and sparkling clean with a bright white coat of soft short fur. A pleasure to hold and rub. Thank you so much. That definitely deserves a second date."
"We had recently moved to Alameda, and one day saw the groom buggy mobile van while driving. I have been desperately trying to get an appointment for my dogs grooming but no one was available so I decided to give groom buggy a try. The process of booking an appointment was quite simple and the whole grooming experience was very easy. Sergio was very sweet and nice with our little dog who gets very anxious at the groomers. The convenience of having someone come to your doorstep and groom your dog is just great. I will definitely be scheduling our next appointment soon."
"Sergio did a great job with both our dogs. I noticed the work on their oaws and nails! Appreciate the his time!"
"One of the best dog grooming experiences Iâve had! Veronica was on time, she was kind and compassionate with me and my dog. Couldnât of asked for anything better!"
"Used this service for the first time. So convenient and the cut was worlds better than the big box grooming service weâve used previously."
"Our 5 month old goldendoodle had her first grooming visit with Armando and we are so happy! Armando took the time to help her get accustomed to the process and kept us informed along the way. We look forward to continuing to work with him!"
"Dasher looks great! Matted ears are unmatted. He is clean and happy! I am clean and happy!"
"Veronica was so kind and caring with our labradoodle! Did a perfect job and will for sure be using groombuggy and Veronica again! Service is so easy to book and convenient coming to your home. Thank you!"
"Very patient and kind, my anxious dog had a good experience. Thank you!"
"I loved our first visit with groombuggy. Lauren was on time and made it quite easy. Diego was clean and soft with a holiday bandana!"
"Groombuggy has been a lifesaver for me and my little old rescue pom, Loki. Not only is it convenient, having a groomer come right to your home and do everything from your driveway, but my groomer (Carlos) is extremely experienced and so gentle with my nervous little old pup. My dog has a collapsing trachea which acts up when he gets nervous; Carlos is experienced with this issue and knows when to take breaks so that Loki can relax. My dog is not always easy; having a rescue with health issues, I really appreciate Carlosâ patience. I prefer a simple, quick cut for Loki because I figure he has been through a lot in his former life. Carlos does an amazing job - exactly what I ask for - and Loki always comes back fast and looking absolutely adorable. In fact, I have had a couple of dog-parent friends ask me where Loki gets groomed and I always point them to Carlos. Love Groombuggy and cannot recommend this service enough! Thank you, Carlos and Groombuggy, for being so great with my little guy."
"Armando showed up on time. Was very polite and professional. Best of all, he cut our pups hair the exact way I wanted. I can tell he really loves dogs and knows how to care for them. Looking forward to our next groom!"
