Michael was fantastic with Buttercup! It was her very first groom and he was calm and patient with her. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!

Our family groomer who had taken care of our now 6 yo female Shih Tzu since she was a puppy, had the desire to become a nurse, so we were looking for a new groomer for our baby girl. We were nervous about how well our pup would do with a new groomer, but all went very well. Noel was great! She texted me throughout letting me know how our pup was doing, and Maddie looked red carpet ready when she came out. Will definitely use Poochies again, and definitely Noel!

Cody has been absolutely wonderful with our little puppy, Mocha! He truly takes the time to make Mocha feel comfortable, and it shows.

Poochie's is STELLAR from start to finish when it comes to grooming!! From the moment you are scheduled and notifications that the groomer is on the way to the groomer herself! Mary is awesome and always makes our dog look like a puppy or teddy bear. I am glad I found Poochie's. Everyone on staff and their manager are personable and truly care about your dog's grooming experience.

WHY DO THE COLONY PET PARENTS BOOK A MOBILE GROOMER?

The Colony fills up with puppies faster than almost anywhere we serve. New builds off Austin Ranch, families who moved in last spring, and a bark park at Five Star that’s basically a puppy convention on Saturdays. Which means a lot of our 75056 appointments are somebody’s first time doing this at all. We handle those deliberately: bath, blow-dry, nails, ears and a light tidy rather than a full haircut, and we stop while the puppy is still comfortable instead of pushing through for a perfect finish. A puppy who has one bad first groom carries it for years, and there’s no haircut worth that. Come back in four to six weeks and the second one goes further, because by then the van is a familiar place.

BATH PACKAGES

Wash, blow-out, nails, ears, and a finishing spritz, in the van, in your driveway. Sized and priced by coat type, quoted up front.

FULL GROOMS

Bath package plus the haircut: breed-standard or your call. Matting-safe for doodles, de-shed for double coats, always one-on-one.

CATS & SENIORS

Quiet van, no kennels, no car ride, the calm setup anxious cats and senior dogs actually tolerate. Gentle handling, extra breaks.

WHAT DO THE COLONY PET PARENTS ASK MOST?

When is my puppy old enough for a first groom?

Once fully vaccinated, usually around 12 to 16 weeks, and ideally before the coat truly needs it. The first visit teaches the puppy that this is a normal thing that happens, which is worth more than the haircut.

What actually happens at a first appointment?

Bath, blow-dry, nails, ears and a light tidy. Your groomer stops while the puppy is still comfortable rather than finishing a full haircut, and tells you afterward how they did and what to work on at home.

What does mobile grooming cost in 75056?

Baths start at $75 and full grooms start at $130, priced by size and coat type. The 75056 trip fee is $20, confirmed in your booking confirmation before anything is scheduled.

How do I get a puppy used to brushing at home?

Ten minutes twice a week beats an hour once a month. Slicker brush plus a metal comb, brushing to the skin rather than over the top of the coat. Your groomer will point out the spots that tangle first on your particular dog.

How soon should the second groom be?

Four to six weeks for most coats. Coming back while the van is still familiar is what turns a nervous first-timer into a dog who walks straight up the ramp.
