About Northern Mobile Dog Wash

Northern and Western Mobile Dog Wash is a family-run mobile grooming service based around Kealba in Brimbank, bringing the salon to the dog rather than the other way around. Fully equipped trailers with temperature-controlled hydrobaths roll up to the driveway, so the whole wash, blow-dry, brush-out and clip happens at home across the Brimbank, Wyndham and Melton shires.

The business was taken over by Johann and Sandra in 2012 and has grown into three mobile salons, with Johann, Tiaan and Winston making up the grooming crew. The approach leans on positive reinforcement and a patient, unhurried manner, which suits dogs that find a busy salon stressful. Johann in particular has a reputation for winning over nervous pets, including those who have had a bad experience elsewhere or who only feel settled with a calm, familiar face. The team works with any breed and takes care to clear burrs and matting and to keep the eye area clipped and clean.

The focus throughout is a comfortable dog and a happy owner, and many clients keep standing monthly appointments. Operating Monday to Saturday across northern and western Melbourne.
