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
Aussie Pet Mobile’s growth ranking and financial stability both declined this year, bumping the company lower on our AllStar listing. The company’s financial health ranking went from #122 to #255, and its growth ranking dropped from #57 to #109 (still a respectable number).
The pet industry has proven to be recession-resistant, and Aussie Pet Mobile offers a home-based opportunity that costs as little as $99,000 to start. The company is focusing on single-unit franchises, which have a lower cost of entry than multi-units, though it offers an additional territory option that it will finance. In 2009, the company announced expansion into Canada.
Aussie Pet Mobile is listed on the SBA’s Franchise Registry and participates in the IFA’s VetFran program.
Last Year's AllStar Rank: 70
