Pets deserve to be pampered, too. Whether it’s through grooming, a spa treatment, behaviour management or healthy food, there are many ways to show your pet how much you love them. So we’ve compiled a list of companies whose top priority is the health and wellness of your beloved fur-children.
HOTDOGS MOBILE GROOMING
HotDogs are the leaders in the mobile grooming industry in South Africa. They take care of your best friend’s grooming needs at your home, inside their luxury fully-fitted mobile salon.
HotDogs offer you, the busy dog lover, a convenient and professional pet grooming service. You can also rest easy in the knowledge that your beloved pet is not taken off your property and is immediately being returned back to their garden after their pampering is complete. HotDogs visits homes in and around the northern suburbs of Johannesburg.
Choose from the comprehensive Standard Package or the Style Me Up Package, which includes the Standard Package as well as hair cutting and styling. Extra services are also offered. For more information about what these packages include, visit the HotDogs website.
HotDogs Mobile Grooming also runs a regular grooming programme that clients can join. Joining this programme ensures that your pet is looked after and groomed regularly, on an interval cycle of the owner’s choice. The mobile grooming parlour in Gauteng recommends that pets should be groomed every 4 weeks, and offers cycles from 1-12 weeks. Joining the programme has many benefits including payment discounts, not having to wait weeks for an appointment when they are fully booked, moving or canceling appointments without being penalised and, of course, keeping your pet in excellent condition, looking and smelling great.
The staff are friendly, professional and reliable dog-lovers who are qualified in both pet and show-dog grooming. As their logo states ‘WE CREATE JOY’, and they truly do. HotDogs also grooms cats.

PALEOPET PURE™
Paleopet Pure™ believes in a holistic approach to the care of pets. They produce and sell whole foods that they have researched and proven to be more beneficial for pets than pellets and pharmaceutical drugs. Eating raw food can not only prevent and help with common health issues but increases the longevity of your pet.
Dogs and cats naturally eat raw food, and in the last few decades, as the belief that processed food is better for pets has grown, the number of ailments pets suffer from has drastically increased. Paleopet Pure™ produces Biologically Appropriate Raw Food meaning it is formulated to mimic a dog’s natural evolutionary eating habits. The meals are designed to meet all of your dog’s nutritional needs and are made from the finest ingredients. Paleopet Pure™ ensures that all the animal products they use are humanely farmed, are free from hormones and growth promoters and that their practices are environmentally responsible and sustainable.
They offer a variety of complete and complementary food for dogs. Complementary foods can be fed to dogs as meal replacements, treats or to be used as a base to make your own complete food. Complete meals, which provide your dog with all the nutrients they need, are made primarily from meat and bone with 20% fresh, raw veggies and fruit and natural supplements including Omega 3.
Their dog food as well as natural supplements and grooming and accessory items can be purchased off their website or from select stockists.
Location: Units 16 & 17, 18 Edendale Rd West, Eastleigh, Johannesburg
