Mr Mardos

Mr Mardos is a mobile dog grooming service run by Steve, working around North Lakes and the wider Moreton Bay area. Because the van comes to the house, the grooming happens in the driveway rather than at a shopfront, and more than one reviewer mentions their dog recognising the sound of the van pulling up and getting excited before the appointment has even started.

Patience is the thread running through the feedback. Owners of nervous dogs say Steve takes his time and does not rush them, and one client who booked at short notice for a very large, sensitive dog well overdue for a groom in the middle of summer described the work as thorough, gentle and efficient despite the heat. Pricing is repeatedly called reasonable, the products used get a mention of their own, and clients several months in say they would not go back to anyone else. It suits nervous dogs, heavy coats that need a patient hand, and owners who would rather skip the trip to a salon.
