Pet Evolution does not offer mobile grooming. For the safety of your pets and our staff, we prefer to offer grooming in-store only. Pet Evolution does however, offer a mobile nail trim service.
Most dogs should have their nails trimmed every 3-4 weeks. However, some dogs may need to have their nails trimmed more often, depending on how quickly they grow. The Pet Evolution team can work with you to recommend the best schedule for your dog.
Book an appointment that works with your schedule and the Pet Evolution mobile nail trim van will come right to your home (typically within an 8 mile radius of the store). The certified professional nail technician drives a van that is outfitted with all the necessary tools, such as clippers, a dremel and files, to provide the service. When the van arrives, the technician will walk the dog out to the van, perform the requested services and then bring the dog back to your home’s front door. The nail van also offers additional add-on services such as teeth brushing, nail filing, ear cleaning and gland expression services.
It depends on your individual pet’s needs and preferences. Grain-free dog food can be a good option for dogs with allergies, sensitivities, or digestive issues, as it eliminates some of the common allergens found in grains. However, if your pet does not have any of these issues, then grain-free food may not be necessary. Our staff at Pet Evolution can help you identify the best food for your dog.
For pets with more sensitive stomachs, changing foods can be stressful for their digestion system. Gassiness and loose stools are common and to be expected, especially if they are switching from a lower quality food. We believe that the long-term benefits of eating a quality diet are well worth the short-term cost of a sore tummy. Plus, there are some easy steps you can take to help prevent any problems. Here’s a handy guide to transitioning your pet to their new food:
Days 1-2: 25% new food – 75% old food
Days 3-5: 50% new food – 50% old food
Days 6-7: 75% new food – 25% old food
Days 8+: 100% new food
Corn, soy, and wheat can be difficult for pets to digest. These grains are also often used as fillers in lower-quality pet food, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Additionally, some pets may be allergic to these grains. Our helpful and knowledgeable staff at Pet Evolution can help you determine which pet foods are best for your dog or cat.
Your pet may simply be tired of the food if they’ve been fed the same thing for years. A simple change of protein may make all the difference.

If after trying the options mentioned above, your pet is still not eating properly, we advise a consultation with your veterinarian.

In extreme cases, matting can cause skin infections and other issues. To prevent matting, it’s important to keep your pet’s coat well-groomed and brushed regularly.
