In Memory of Hannah

“Hannah was our beautiful, friendly miniature schnauzer for 10.5 years.  She loved being with her family and enjoyed favorite pastimes of walks in the warm sunshine, chasing her ball, being chased around the family room, and her absolute favorite: barking.  As Hannah grew in years, her needs became such that it wasn’t practical for us to take her somewhere to be groomed.  So when we found Aussie Pet Mobile, and specifically Hannah’s groomer, Dishan, it was a welcome relief to all of us.  Hannah loved Dishan and we never worried about Hannah being stressed with her.  And, she always looked magnificent afterward.  Sadly, we lost Hannah in February 2013 due to an extended illness, but her precious memories will live in our hearts forever.  And we’ll always be grateful to Aussie Pet Mobile for bringing Dishan to us in Hannah’s last years.”

Thank you so much, Dishan!  ~Chad and Christina Steward

Driven to be Natural

Maureen Holderied, owner of Aussie Pet Mobile in Atlanta, agrees that although there may not be direct and measurable results from following an eco-friendly path, there are certainly plenty of positive indirect effects. Her business has increased 25 percent over the past year, a trend that she attributes to excellent customer service, repeat customers
and the 80 to 100 new clients she gains each month from brand recognition. A local newspaper article identified Holderied as the innovator of Aussie Pet Mobile’s now standard practice of using solar panels on its vans, which had a positive impact on her business’ image. “To power the grooming equipment, we had to keep the vans on high idle, which was loud,” says Holderied, explaining how she came up with the idea of harnessing the power of solar energy. “Using the solar panels brought diesel consumption down by about a third, plus it was much quieter.” The disinfectants that she uses are biodegradable, like Simple Green—or plain vinegar, depending upon what is being cleaned—which prevents harsh chemicals from going into the water supply. She also uses re-circulating bathing systems and biodegradable shampoos, focusing on high-quality options so that little product is needed—her favorites are Quadruped and Nature’s Specialties. While such eco-friendly practices can make a grooming business more appealing to consumers, Holderied says that they can have a more direct impact on a salon’s bottom line. “Being green in these ways saves both time and money,” she says. Holderied also points out that mobile grooming is innately a green way to do business, because it ultimately saves gas. “Instead of many customers driving to the shop and back home, only to make another full trip to pick the dog up, we just make the single trip to them,” she says.

A healthy mouth is important for healthy hearts, livers and kidneys.

Increase their life expectancy with these tips for healthy teeth and gums:

2. Have an annual or bi-annual oral exam and cleaning at your vet
3. Spend 2 minutes daily brushing your pet’s teeth with a special brush and toothpaste for pets or with your finger wrapped in gauze
4. Give your dog a rawhide chew that has enzymes that aid in breaking down plaque
