| Aussie Pet Mobile A one of a kind “feel-good” service with happy customers, Aussie Pet Mobile has established itself in both domestic and international franchising. Essentially a pet grooming service on wheels – more specifically, in a Mercedes Sprinter van –, Aussie Pet Mobile provides trained groomers that supply a 15-step treatment that includes shampoo, massage, blow-dry, brushing, nail clipping and eyes/ears cleaning. Other services include “pawdicures,” teeth brushing, flea and tick control and re-moisturizing treatment for skin and coat. Promoting
less stress for pets and less hassle for owners, Aussie Pet Mobile’s business
is uniquely positioned to exploit long-term predictable trends in the U.S.,
Canada and overseas – namely, the growing desire for convenience and saving
time. The Aussie system thrives in all climates, including very cold, wet
winters (when pets are most likely to get muddy and be in dire need of
grooming). Most importantly, there are no national branded competitors and no
franchises competing with Aussie Pet Mobile – only fragmented mom ‘n’ pop
centers which, for the record, are generally booked solid. Investment
