About Aussie Pet Mobile

Aussie Pet Mobile is the fastest growing pet grooming franchise offering convenient, affordable, reliable, and efficient pet grooming service to pet owners to maintain and achieve their pets' best well-being. Their 15-step pet-pampering process, which includes a shampoo, massage and brushing, is performed by trained Aussie Pet Mobile groomers in custom designed vehicles or pet spas that are climate controlled. The treatment is done in the driveway of the pet owners' home to ensure pets are close to their home environment, where they feel safe and secure.

Founded in 1996 in Sydney, Australia by Ian Moses and Vivienne McIntosh, the concept started as a way to help busy families keep their pets bathed and groomed without the hassle of scheduling trips to the groomer and to satisfy the growing demand for mobile pet grooming services. The business was an immediate success and just three years later, the couple sold the rights to the concept in Australia and moved to the United States.

Unlike most franchising options, the Aussie Pet Mobile concept has no retail real estate or build-out costs, allowing franchisees to start doing business the day they receive their vehicles, which are custom-built for the climate that they are servicing. Franchisees are assigned exclusive territories to work in and are provided with complete initial and on-going training and support.
