About Us – Nurturing Pet Wellness on India’s Doorsteps
PetGroomingPro was founded in 2022 in Mumbai by certified pet stylist Ananya Singh and veterinary nurse Arjun Patel, united by a passion for elevating grooming standards and reducing stress for animals. Frustrated by long waits, cramped salon conditions, and pets’ resistance to unfamiliar environments, they envisioned a mobile service that brings all the comforts of home to the grooming session. Their mission: to combine veterinary‑approved care, breed‑specific expertise, and heartfelt compassion in every appointment.
Beginning with one fully equipped van—complete with hydraulic grooming tables, temperature‑controlled water systems, and onboard steam‑dryers—Ananya and Arjun personally groomed dozens of dogs and cats, refining protocols that minimized anxiety for even the most timid pets. They developed gentle handling techniques: low‑noise clippers, positive‑reinforcement training, and calm pheromone diffusers to emulate a safe, familiar setting. Word‑of‑mouth among pet owners grew quickly, prompting the duo to expand their fleet into a five‑vehicle mobile brigade serving Greater Mumbai by early 2023.
Understanding that each breed—and indeed each individual—has unique grooming needs, PetGroomingPro built a team of specialists trained in poodle‑clips, Persian trims, Schnauzer hand‑scissoring, and sphynx skin care. Regular workshops with international stylists and veterinarians ensure that the team stays current on the latest coat‑care techniques, dermatological treatments, and ergonomic grooming practices that prioritize animal comfort and health.
Safety and hygiene underpin every aspect of our operations. All tools—shears, combs, nail clippers—are sterilized between appointments; shampoo bowls are flushed with veterinary‑grade disinfectants; towels and capes are laundered in hypoallergenic detergents. Our decision to use eco‑friendly, oat‑protein shampoos and detangling conditioners was guided by consultations with veterinary dermatologists, ensuring we support sensitive skin and prevent irritation. We also conduct pre‑appointment wellness checks—asking about recent vaccinations, skin conditions, and behavioral triggers—so every pet receives tailored care.
By mid‑2024, PetGroomingPro’s footprint had grown across Delhi and Bangalore, with each city-specific team trained in local climate considerations—shorter summer trims to reduce heat stress in Chennai and hydrating coat‑treatments for Pune’s monsoon season. Today, PetGroomingPro serves over 3,000 pets monthly, boasting a 97 % repeat‑booking rate and glowing testimonials praising our convenience, professionalism, and “pets‑come‑home‑smiling” approach.
Looking ahead, we’re developing a holistic pet‑wellness platform—integrating grooming records, coat‑health analytics, and reminders for follow‑up appointments—so owners can track their pet’s coat condition over time. We’re also exploring partnerships with rescue shelters, offering complimentary spa days to rehabilitate animals and boost their adoptability. Yet through every expansion, our founding promise remains steadfast: to deliver compassionate, expert grooming that enhances both the appearance and well‑being of every pet we serve, right at your doorstep.
