Warm-water baths and breed-specific haircuts for small dogs, brought to Knightsen doors by appointment.
Knightsen is a small farming community in far eastern Contra Costa County, with roughly 1,600 residents and a lot of open ground. Orchards, ranches and fields of crops like almonds, walnuts and sunflowers surround the town, and local sources say horses are about as common as people. Delta Road runs past Knightsen Elementary, and the old Farm Bureau Hall, built in 1922, still hosts community events. For a small dog living on a rural lot, that means dirt, dry weeds, hay dust and barn smells, plus outside time around larger animals.
Out here, a trip to a groomer can mean a long drive, so I bring the grooming to your gate. The van is self-contained with warm water, and I work on one small dog at a time. Farm dogs often need a deep bath to lift dust from the undercoat, a careful comb-out for burrs and seed heads, and a trim around the feet and belly where mud and weeds collect. Your floors and furniture stay clean. I take dogs under 35 pounds.

Often, yes. Dust, hay, weeds and mud build up in the coat faster on a rural lot. Many small dogs in farm settings do well on a groom every four to six weeks, with brushing at home in between.
Check ears, paws and the belly daily when weeds dry out, and comb out burrs gently rather than pulling. Keeping the coat trimmed makes seeds much easier to find. Call a vet if you see limping, head shaking or heavy sneezing.
My van is based in Oakley and I travel to Knightsen by appointment. Text me your address and your dog's size and breed, and I will confirm whether I can fit you into my route.
I groom small dogs, generally under 35 pounds. My van and my one-on-one setup are built around keeping small dogs calm and comfortable.
I bring a self-contained grooming van to your home with my own warm water and a drain tank. Your dog is groomed right outside your door, so there is no mess and no water used inside your house.
Text or call (925) 666-4861 and I will get back to you to set a time. I take appointments from 8:00am to 1:30pm and I am closed Thursdays and Sundays.
