Jim's Dog Wash New Lynn is a mobile dog washing and grooming service, run from a trailer that comes to the customer's home. Its trailers have temperature-controlled water, instant gas heating for cooler months and high-velocity dryers that remove loose hair. The service offers warm hydrobaths, grooming, nail trimming, ear cleaning, de-shedding and flea and tick treatments, and it also grooms cats. The business says a dog is its only customer during a visit, with no queues, no other dogs and no cages, and no drop-off at a salon. The listing gives 4 Pine Street, New Lynn as the address, and the company's website says it serves Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, Taihape and Christchurch. Bookings are made by calling 0800 454 654.
Customers praise the groomer for her patience and care with their pets, and one says a nervous dog who does not enjoy baths still loves her. Others describe her as reliable, experienced and trustworthy, and one says the groomer-in-training she worked with was caring and skilled. Customers mention her attention to detail. The business is part of a franchise network, which the website says has 230 franchisees across Australia and New Zealand. For a dog owner in New Lynn or the Auckland area who would rather not take the dog to a salon, the mobile model is the main attraction.
