Four Ideas for Mobile Pet Businesses

Posted by Lauren Middleton on Apr 9th 2021

April 11, 2021 is National Pet Day. Millions of people across the United States have pets or pet related businesses. We have seen an uptick in people purchasing our auto body parts for business van customization. Since the pandemic, customers are becoming more interested in services that come to them. You may ask what this has to do with National Pet Day. Pet ownership has increased dramatically during the pandemic as well. The ASPCA has shared that the national adoption rate of pets increased to 58% during the pandemic. With this increase, there is a new need for mobile pet services. Elderly and high-risk groups still want their pets taken care of and because of that, may entrepreneurs are opting to start mobile pet businesses. Our article this week will focus on four ideas for mobile pet businesses. If you have any questions on converting a vehicle, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Starting a mobile dog grooming business

Mobile grooming vans are extremely popular. They were even popular before the pandemic because skipping a trip to the groomer saves time for a lot of busy adults. Mobile pet grooming vans can be customized with simple grooming equipment such as a table for hair and nail trims. More advanced customizations can include bathing tubs and dryers.

Setting up a mobile food truck for pets

With the increased amount of pet adoptions, their owners are often out an about walking them in outdoor spaces. Specialty food trucks for dogs are becoming very popular at dog parks and popular walking areas. Like most food trucks, pet food trucks often have ovens for baking dog treats and even freezers for keeping dog safe ice cream cold. Many entrepreneurs have actually made the food truck friendly for humans well. Just be sure to keep the menu items separate!

Starting a mobile aquarium service company

Many businesses are now opting to have an aquarium in their office to act as visual appeal. Doctor and dentists’ offices actually install aquariums to calm their patients as watching fish is relaxing. Aquariums, whether fresh or saltwater, can be hard to maintain. You can start an aquarium cleaning and maintenance service with simple van customization. You’ll need racks for hoses and brushes, a place to store buckets, and even a mobile lab area for water testing.

Running a pet cleaning business

All dog owners know that with pets comes poop. Many owners loathe cleaning up after their pets. If you have a truck or van, you can start a mobile pet cleaning or clean up business. Be sure that you have plenty of gloves, garbage bags, and shovels. If you have any knowledge of landscaping, you can also offer to treat the lawn where the dog may have urinated. Dog urine can turn grass yellow and there are several pet safe products out there that can save the lawn.
