SH 21 sits in the numbered residential belt of Abu Dhabi, a settled area of houses and low-rise blocks that has never had a grooming salon of its own. Pet owners here have worked out that the simplest route is a groomer with a van, who parks outside and turns the job round in a couple of hours. Salonist's pet grooming options in SH 21 page lists the mobile teams covering the sector.
Nothing needs to come out of your home, because the vehicle brings water, heating, a bath, a dryer and a grooming table and powers them all itself. The groomer starts by checking skin and coat condition, works through the brushing and any matting, then bathes and dries the animal properly before the clip or scissor finish. Nails, ear cleaning and a sanitary trim complete it, whether the pet is a dog or a cat. Expect an hour for something small and neat, up to two and a half for a big coat. Should the local vans be full, mobile pet grooming in SH02 is not far.
Around here the usual quotes are AED 175 to 265 for a small dog, AED 225 to 335 for a medium, AED 305 to 500 for a large breed and AED 170 to 300 for a cat, travel included rather than added afterwards. Sectors nearer the island price a little above their Dubai counterparts. Set that against mobile pet grooming in SHS 2.
Van grooming has caught on in the capital largely because of the temperature, with no car journey at either end and no time penned up beside strange animals. For the day after, stick to shaded walks, watch that the pads have picked up nothing from hot ground, and brush lightly twice a week so the air conditioning does not dry the coat. The advice applies at mobile pet grooming in SHS 3 too.
There is no groomer holding a licence at an address inside SH 21, so the whole listing is made up of services that drive to you, and it keeps growing. Booking takes a couple of minutes, the diary you see is the real one, payment goes through the app, and every rating rests on a base of over 2 million reviews. Further out, mobile pet grooming in SW 11 is another option.
