Soggy Doggy is a mobile dog groomer. The grooming is done in a custom van that comes to your door, and the van has its own power, a hot water heater and a therapeutic bathing system. Packages include a bath with high quality shampoo and conditioner, brush out, nail trim, ear clean and cologne, and a bath with haircut. Add-ons include a flea shampoo with treatment, paw cream, plaque prevention and nail smoothing. The website asks that dogs be vaccinated against rabies, distemper and bordetella, and says owners are usually better off not in the van during a groom. Quotes are estimates, and final prices depend on size, coat, temperament and haircut. Payment is due at the time of service, by cash or major credit card. The business is based at 34 Apu Crescent in Sunshine Bay, Lower Hutt.
Customers describe the groomer as attentive, knowledgeable and kind. They praise coats that feel soft and smell fresh, and one owner was sent a photo during the groom to check the haircut. Another customer with a shy, protective dog says the dog is comfortable with the groomer and has been going for about a year. Customers often mention the mobile service, which saves a trip out with the dog. Our pick in Lower Hutt for a mobile groom from a groomer customers trust.
