Ian Ellis travels all over Staffordshire offering the very latest concept, all the way from the USA.

Dial-a-dog-wash is a mobile grooming parlour that arrives on your doorstep to pamper and groom your dog.

The grooming is done outside your home or work place.

The vans used are fully equipped with a warm water hydro-bath, grooming table and all the necessary equipment to give your dog the same bath, blow-dry and cut he would get if you left him at a grooming shop. In the winter months the vans are heated to keep your dog warm.

When the groomer comes to you it is a totally different experience for the dog.

No more leaving the dog at a shop for several hours stuck in a cage and surrounded by noises and other barking dogs. They arrive at your home in clean warm heated vans before familiarising themselves with your dog and the service your require.

The dog will then receive a therapeutic warm hydro bath which loosens further dead hair and skin, their coats are massaged with a premier insect repellent shampoo, which helps to revitalise the coat and skin. These are made with only natural plant extracts.

A luxury conditioner is applied to soften the fur and help protect against breakage. After drying the dog, a nice smelling dog cologne which contains 9 essential oils is applied, leaving the dog both looking and smelling good.
