Aussie Pet Mobile

Mobile pet grooming
Somewhere in the mass of smelly fur is man’s best friend. It’s time for a grooming. And Aussie Pet Mobile can deliver. The award-winning grooming company comes to the client “with a convenient, affordable, reliable, and efficient service to pet owners to maintain and achieve their pets' best well being,” in the company’s words. Aussie Pet Mobile uses environmentally friendly products. Services include the Furminator Shed-Less treatment and a heated hydrobath. Franchisees have access to fully equipped vans as well as comprehensive training to run the business. No real estate is required. The company provides startup and ongoing support, including operational and marketing assistance.
Why This Company Makes Our AllStar List
The pet industry has been one of the hottest growth categories in American business for years. Aussie Pet Mobile is an example of this trend, ranking #57 in our growth category. Instead of lugging your dog or cat to the groomer, this mobile pet grooming company sends vans to a pet owner’s home so animals can be groomed in their own surroundings. The concept caters to customers who want convenience, would prefer not having to deal with getting a pet into a car, or those pet owners who have problems leaving their homes.

In 2008, Aussie Pet Mobile saw a 20 percent system-wide sales growth for its fourth consecutive year. Proving its commitment to growth, the company recently added a new executive team, including a new president and CEO, CFO, VP of franchise sales, and SVP of operations. Aussie Pet Mobile has relationships with third-party financing sources that can provide capital for franchisees.

Although the recession will undoubtedly mean challenges for Aussie Pet Mobile franchisees, there are still many Americans who consider pet care an essential expenditure, not a luxury. Plus, Aussie Pet Mobile also provides certain healthcare services such as flea and tick control. As long as people continue to treat pets like members of the family, pet businesses should continue to do well.
