Al Forsan Village is a compact run of family villas out towards the Khalifa City side of the capital, and a good many of those gardens have a dog in them. Rather than driving across town for a wash, most households here book a grooming van onto the drive instead. Salonist collects the mobile groomers covering this side of Abu Dhabi, and the pet grooming options in Al Forsan Village listing shows who has a slot free this week.
The van that turns up is a self-contained little salon. It carries its own water tank, heater, bath, high-velocity dryer and grooming table, and runs off its own power, so nothing is drawn from your villa. Your groomer starts with a health and coat check, brushes out and clears any matting, then washes, dries and finishes with clippers or scissors, before nails, ears and a sanitary trim. Reckon on an hour for a small dog and up to two and a half for a heavy double coat. Neighbours also use mobile pet grooming in Al Gurm West when diaries here fill up.
Prices in this part of the city are reasonable by capital standards. A small dog is generally AED 160 to 250, a medium one AED 210 to 320, and a large breed AED 300 to 470, while cats fall between AED 160 and 290. The call-out is normally folded into that figure. It is worth putting those against mobile pet grooming in Al Hisn before you commit.
The obvious appeal in an Abu Dhabi summer is that your dog never sits in a hot car. One animal is handled at a time, so there is no kennel wait and no barking from the next cage. Afterwards brush a couple of times a week and keep the dog out of the direct blast of the air conditioning. The same routine suits mobile pet grooming in Al Kasir.
There is no grooming salon with an address in the village itself, so every booking goes to a van driving in from the surrounding districts. Salonist shows live diaries, so you pick a time without ringing anyone, pay in the app and read genuine reviews first. If nothing suits, mobile pet grooming in Al Maarid is another option.
