Mobile pet grooming in Kenya

Portable grooming service with a clean work-area requirement

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional mobile job: a qualified groomer makes one home visit to bath and brush a pre-assessed adult dog using an owner-approved utility area. The quote assumes safe water, drainage, power and adequate working space are confirmed beforehand. This pilot uses portable equipment and no vehicle conversion. Exclude clinical treatment, sedation, unsuitable mat removal, waste discharge to storm drains and grooming an animal that cannot be safely accommodated.
