Fluffmobile research
How we research groomers and compare prices.
A listing is a record of what a business publishes. It is not a recommendation, a customer review, or proof of an open appointment.
Which businesses and service areas count?
We list businesses that describe mobile pet grooming in a van or trailer. We record a town when the provider names it on its own website. Separate franchise teams get separate listings when they have their own service information. A listed town does not mean every address in that town is covered.
Where do the prices come from?
We record starting prices posted on the groomer’s own website and keep a source link. A starting price can be for a small pet or a basic service. Coat condition, size, travel, add-ons, taxes, and the provider’s rules can change the total. We do not treat an estimate from another directory as a published provider price.
What does the middle price mean?
The median is the middle value after prices are sorted; for an even-sized sample, it is the average of the two middle values. Missing prices are excluded. Each figure describes only the listings with a recorded price for that service or size. Different columns can have different sample sizes.
The national price report requires at least 5 posted prices for a metro’s bath or full-groom median. Some local price pages use smaller samples and show the individual listings. Around a metro means the city or a listed town within roughly 60 miles, based on town coordinates. Nearby areas can overlap, so metro totals must not be added together.
Which pets and needs are distinguished?
Full cat grooming is separate from cat nail trims. Doodle, large-dog, booking, and gentle-care details come from recorded provider information. A senior or nervous-pet flag does not establish that a groomer accepts aggressive dogs or provides veterinary care. Ask about your pet’s circumstances directly.
How current is the information?
Among the active listings, recorded website-review dates run from 2026-10-02 to 2026-11-02. 0 have no recorded website-review date. The latest date is the newest individual review, not the date every listing was checked. Tables recalculate from stored records; that does not recheck a provider’s website.
What can this sample tell us?
It can show which researched providers publish a price or advertise a service. Businesses with websites and public prices may differ from those without them. Prices are not adjusted to a standard pet or package, and franchise locations may share policies. These comparisons do not establish quality, safety, satisfaction, or market-wide averages.
Inspect the listing-level sources and review dates, then check any figure you plan to quote against the provider’s page.
