The Dog Wash Queen

The Dog Wash Queen is a mobile dog wash and grooming service based in Craigmore, at the northern edge of Adelaide, working from a pink van that comes to the client's home. Reviewers describe the van as clean and well kept, and convenience is a large part of why people book — the dog stays on familiar ground and nobody has to drive anywhere. Several also point out how unusual it is to find a mobile groomer willing to take on large breeds.

Patience is the thread running through the feedback. Owners of shy and anxious dogs say their pets settle happily with her, and one mentions small courtesies like keeping a dog off hot concrete on the walk to the van. Another, whose dog has scoliosis, was relieved to see the groom finished without any distress. Gentle handling of puppies, attention to detail, and dogs coming back clean and smelling good come up repeatedly, and a good share of reviewers are returning customers.
