About this service
The Full Bath is ideal when your furry family member needs a thorough wash and a tidy-up between full grooming appointments. Mufasa brings the bath to your home so your pet stays comfortable in a familiar setting, with patient, personalized attention from start to finish.
Professional bath
A complete wash that cleans and refreshes the coat.

Careful drying and brushing leave the coat soft and neat.
Nail, ear & sanitary care
Nail trimming and filing, ear cleaning, and a basic sanitary-area trim included.
What the Full Bath service includes
The Full Bath is a complete bathing and maintenance service designed for dogs and cats that need a thorough clean without a full haircut. Mufasa Pets Mobile Grooming brings everything needed directly to your home, so your pet receives a professional bath, blow-dry, complete brushing, nail trimming and filing, ear cleaning, a basic sanitary-area trim, pet fragrance, and finishing touches — all in the comfort of a familiar setting.
This service sits between a quick individual bath and the complete Full Grooming experience. It is built for pets whose coats are in good shape but need a refreshing reset: the dirt and loose hair removed, the nails tidied, the ears gently cleaned, and a few finishing touches applied so your furry family member looks and smells cared for. Because there is no full haircut included, the Full Bath is often a shorter, more focused appointment that fits neatly into a busy family schedule.
Every step is performed with patient, personalized attention. The Mufasa team works one-on-one with your pet during its scheduled appointment, which means no other animals waiting and no busy salon environment. For many dogs and cats, that calmer setting makes bathing noticeably easier.
Who the Full Bath is right for
The Full Bath is a strong choice for pets that are between full grooming appointments and need a clean, fresh reset. If your dog enjoys regular outdoor activity in the Orlando area — walks around the neighborhood, playtime at local parks, or time in a backyard — a Full Bath helps remove the dirt, pollen, and loose coat that build up between complete grooms.
It is also well suited to short-coated breeds that do not require regular haircuts but still benefit from a professional wash, nail care, and ear cleaning. Breeds like Labradors, beagles, pit bulls, and many mixed-breed dogs can stay comfortable and clean with periodic Full Bath appointments rather than a full haircut each time.
For cats, the Full Bath can be appropriate when a bath is needed and your cat tolerates water grooming. Not every cat requires or enjoys a bath, so the Mufasa team will discuss what is suitable for your individual feline family member before proceeding.
- Pets between full grooming appointments that need a refresh
- Short-coated breeds that do not need regular haircuts
- Dogs that spend time outdoors in Central Florida's warm climate
- Cats that tolerate bathing and need a thorough clean
- Families wanting essential grooming maintenance at home
The mobile bathing process at your home
When you request a Full Bath, the process begins with the appointment request. You will share basic information about your pet — whether they are a dog or cat, their breed, approximate weight, age, and any coat-condition notes. This helps the Mufasa team prepare and confirm availability for your area.
On the day of your appointment, the mobile grooming service arrives at your home. The professional bath is performed using warm water and grooming-appropriate products selected for your pet's coat. The bath helps lift dirt, loose hair, and environmental debris from the coat while leaving your pet smelling fresh.
After the bath, your pet is carefully blow-dried and brushed. This step removes loose coat, smooths the fur, and helps the coat dry evenly and neatly. The team then trims and files your pet's nails, gently cleans the exterior of the ears, and performs a basic sanitary-area trim. The appointment finishes with a pet-friendly fragrance and neat finishing touches.
Benefits of bathing your pet at home
Mobile bathing removes the need to transport your pet to a traditional grooming salon. There is no car ride, no drop-off window, and no waiting room. For pets that find travel or unfamiliar environments uncomfortable, receiving a bath at home can make the experience noticeably calmer.
Because the groomer works one-on-one with your pet during its scheduled appointment, your furry family member receives focused, individualized attention from start to finish. The team can work at a pace that suits your pet, pausing when needed and adjusting the approach based on how your pet responds.
It is also more convenient for your family. You do not need to block out time for round-trip travel or wait for a callback that your pet is ready. The mobile service arrives at your door, performs the bath outside your home, and your freshly cleaned pet is right there when the appointment is done.
How the Full Bath compares to Full Grooming
The key difference is the haircut. Full Grooming includes a complete haircut and styling based on your pet's coat and your requested appearance, along with the bath, blow-dry, brushing, ear cleaning, teeth cleaning, nail trimming and filing, sanitary trim, and finishing touches. The Full Bath includes the bath, blow-dry, brushing, nail care, ear cleaning, basic sanitary trim, and finishing touches — but no full haircut.
If your pet needs a fresh look with a new cut or a significant coat trim, Full Grooming is the right choice. If your pet's coat length is fine and they simply need a thorough clean and essential maintenance, the Full Bath is a practical, focused alternative. Many families alternate between the two, scheduling Full Grooming when a haircut is due and a Full Bath in between for upkeep.
- Full Grooming ($75): includes haircut, bath, blow-dry, ear cleaning, teeth cleaning, nails, sanitary trim, fragrance
- Full Bath: includes bath, blow-dry, brushing, nails, ear cleaning, basic sanitary trim, fragrance — no full haircut
- Both services are delivered at your home with one-on-one attention
Maintaining your pet's coat between baths
Regular brushing at home helps extend the fresh feeling of a Full Bath between appointments. For dogs with longer or thicker coats, brushing a few times each week helps prevent tangles and removes loose hair before it accumulates. For short-coated breeds, a quick brush once a week helps distribute natural oils and keeps the coat looking healthy.
Keeping your pet's living area clean also helps. Washing bedding regularly and wiping muddy paws after walks reduces how quickly dirt builds up on the coat. In Central Florida's warm, humid climate, pets that spend time outdoors may need more frequent bathing during certain seasons, particularly when pollen counts are high or after heavy rain.
If you notice matting forming, it is best to address it sooner rather than later. Small tangles are easier to manage than tight mats. The Mufasa team can advise on whether a de-matting service or a Full Grooming appointment is the better option based on your pet's coat condition.
What to expect after a Full Bath
After a Full Bath appointment, your pet should feel clean, fresh, and comfortable. The coat will be dry, brushed, and free of loose hair and surface dirt. Nails will be trimmed and filed for a smooth finish, the ears gently cleaned, and a pet-friendly fragrance applied as a finishing touch.
Every pet responds a little differently to bathing. Some are energetic and ready to play; others prefer to rest and settle. Both are normal. The team will let you know how the appointment went and share any observations about your pet's coat, skin, or nails that may be useful for future care.
Because the service is performed at your home, there is no transition period of traveling back from a salon. Your pet can immediately relax in their own space, which many families find helps their pet settle more quickly after grooming.
Local considerations for Orlando and Central Florida
Living in the Orlando area means pets are exposed to warm temperatures, humidity, and seasonal allergens throughout much of the year. These conditions can affect coat condition, skin comfort, and how quickly a pet gets dirty between grooming appointments. A regular Full Bath helps manage the buildup of environmental debris and keeps your pet comfortable.
Mufasa serves Orlando and surrounding Central Florida communities, including Kissimmee, Clermont, The Villages, DeLand, Winter Haven, Sanford, Apopka, Daytona Beach, Saint Cloud, Davenport, Lakeland, Oviedo, and Altamonte Springs. You can confirm whether your address falls within the service area by contacting the team with your city and ZIP code.
Because Mufasa is a mobile service, there is no physical location for you to visit. The grooming is performed at your home, which is especially convenient during Central Florida's warmer months when transporting a pet in a hot vehicle is less appealing.
Pricing and availability
The Full Bath does not have a published separate price. Contact Mufasa to confirm pricing and availability for the Full Bath service. The team will ask about your pet — their type, breed, approximate weight, age, and coat condition — to provide accurate information and confirm whether the Full Bath is the right service for your pet's needs.
If your pet would benefit from a complete haircut and styling, the team may recommend Full Grooming at $75 instead. The goal is always to match your pet with the service that best fits their condition and your preferences, not to upsell.
How to request a Full Bath appointment
Requesting a Full Bath is simple. Complete the appointment request form on this page or call (407) 800-3103. Provide your pet's basic information and your service address so the team can confirm availability for your area.
Once your request is received, the Mufasa team will contact you to confirm the service, discuss your pet's needs, and schedule a date and time. Your appointment is not confirmed until the team responds, so please allow time for that follow-up.
If you are unsure whether the Full Bath or Full Grooming is the better fit, just ask. The team is happy to help you choose the right service based on your pet's coat, condition, and grooming history. You can also explore the full list of services to see everything Mufasa offers.
When the Full Bath is the right choice
The Full Bath is the right choice in several common situations. If your pet's coat is in good condition and does not need a haircut, but your pet has gotten dirty or smelly from outdoor activity, the Full Bath provides a thorough clean and essential maintenance without the time of a full grooming appointment. This makes it ideal for active pets between fuller services.
The Full Bath is also well suited to short-coated breeds that do not require regular haircuts but still benefit from a professional wash, nail care, ear cleaning, and a sanitary trim. Breeds like Labradors, beagles, pit bulls, and many mixed-breed dogs can stay comfortable and clean with periodic Full Bath appointments rather than a full haircut each time.
For pets that find full grooming appointments long or tiring, the Full Bath offers a shorter, more focused service. It provides the essential cleaning and maintenance steps without the additional time of a haircut, which can be more comfortable for some pets. The groomer can advise whether the Full Bath or a complete Full Grooming appointment is the better fit for your pet based on their coat condition and your goals.
- Ideal for dirty or smelly coats that do not need a haircut
- Well suited to short-coated breeds that do not need regular cuts
- A shorter, more focused alternative to full grooming
- Practical for active pets between fuller appointments
- The groomer can advise on the best fit for your pet
How the Full Bath fits a grooming routine
Many families build a grooming routine that alternates between the Full Bath and Full Grooming. For pets with continuously growing coats that need regular haircuts, Full Grooming is scheduled when a cut is due — typically every four to eight weeks. In between, a Full Bath keeps the coat clean, the nails tidy, and the ears comfortable without the time of a full haircut.
This alternating approach balances thorough care with convenience. Your pet receives regular professional attention to their coat, nails, ears, and sanitary areas, while the more time-consuming haircut happens on the schedule that matches their coat growth. The groomer can recommend an appropriate interval based on your pet's breed, coat type, and lifestyle.
For short-coated breeds that do not need haircuts, the Full Bath may be the primary grooming service, scheduled at a regular interval to keep the coat clean and the essential maintenance steps up to date. The groomer can advise on the right frequency based on how quickly your pet gets dirty and their overall coat and skin condition. See all options on the services page.
The Full Bath for cats
The Full Bath can be appropriate for cats when a bath is needed and your cat tolerates water grooming. Long-haired cats may benefit from a bath to remove oils and loose hair that contribute to matting. Senior cats that groom themselves less effectively may need occasional baths to stay clean. Cats that have gotten into something messy may need a bath for their safety and comfort.
For cats, every step of the Full Bath is performed with particular patience. The groomer works at your cat's pace, introducing the bath gradually and reading your cat's cues throughout. If your cat is not comfortable with any step — the bath, the dryer, or handling — the groomer adjusts or skips that step rather than forcing it. Your cat's well-being always comes first.
Not every cat needs or tolerates a bath. For cats that primarily need coat care without water, brushing and de-shedding and de-matting are often better options. The team can discuss what is appropriate for your individual cat before proceeding. If a bath is suitable, the Full Bath provides a complete, gentle refresh at your home.
What to share when booking a Full Bath
When you request an appointment for a Full Bath, sharing information about your pet helps the team prepare. Share your pet's breed, approximate weight, age, and coat condition. If your pet has skin sensitivities, allergies, or has reacted to grooming products before, mention these details so the groomer can select appropriate products and adjust the approach.
If your pet is anxious about bathing or the dryer, let the team know. The groomer can plan a patient, gradual approach and work at your pet's pace. The one-on-one mobile setting is ideal for pets that need a calm, unrushed approach. If your pet is a cat, mention this so the team can discuss whether a bath is appropriate before proceeding.
If you are deciding between the Full Bath and a complete Full Grooming appointment at $75, the team can help you choose based on whether your pet needs a haircut. The Full Bath focuses on bathing and essential maintenance; Full Grooming adds a haircut, styling, and teeth cleaning. Explore all options on the services page to compare what each includes.
