Aussie Pet Mobile is the world�s first mobile pet grooming service franchise. Essentially a pet grooming spa on wheels, Aussie Pet Mobile conveniently helps busy families with the difficult job of keeping their pets bathed and groomed. The customized Mercedes sprinter van arrives right at the owners� home, and inside pets receive a 15-step spa treatment that includes shampooing, massaging, blow drying, brushing, nail clipping and cleaning of the eyes and ears.

In addition, it is possible to own an Aussie Pet Mobile franchise and maintain another career simultaneously, as franchisees are offered flexibility and freedom in how involved they are in day-to-day operations.

Aussie Pet Mobile has enjoyed much success in Australia, where it was created, as well as in the United States, where pet-care spending has increased from $16 billion in 1993 to nearly $36 billion in 2004. Aussie Pet Mobile franchisees benefit from growing brand awareness, strong marketing and a lack of branded competition in the marketplace. By offering convenience and flexibility for the booming pet-care industry, Aussie Pet Mobile has created a niche for itself and has thrived in all economic climates with high levels of repeat business.
