Mobile Cat Bath in Lake Worth Beach, Sand Out of the Coat

Send anything that affects where the van can legally sit: event closures, beach parking, narrow historic drives, apartment lots, rail crossings, and limited curb space. It needs a position that does not block traffic, emergency access, a shared drive, or your neighbors. Where a building or community has to approve the visit, arrange that before the date rather than on arrival.

The van is shut before the carrier is opened and stays shut until the cat is dry and back inside it. There is no point at which a wet cat has a route to an open door. That is the main practical reason to bathe a cat in a van rather than a bathroom.

Most healthy cats manage alone and do not. The ones that benefit are long-haired cats, overweight or arthritic cats that cannot reach everything, cats with greasy or flaking coats, and cats that have got into something they should not lick off. If yours is none of those, we will say so.

No, and water makes existing mats tighter. If the coat is matted we will tell you it needs cat grooming instead, where mats are cleared before anything gets wet. A bath booked on a matted coat wastes the appointment.

Ideally yes, and a quick brush at home the day before genuinely helps. Loose fur that goes into water becomes a tangle, and a coat brushed out first rinses cleaner and dries faster. If your cat will not tolerate brushing from you, say so and we will do it here instead.
