It's the simple things

I always love a great idea. 

Mobile pet services simply makes life much easier. 

Customer service these days can be rare. We have access to pretty much every kind of convenience we need. Malls and shopping plazas with just about every variety of need can be found on just about on every block.

But what about a businesses that comes to you?

This isn't about the pizza delivery guy or the cable company that comes to your house in the only time slot available: anytime between 8 and 4.  Which really means, 3:55 p.m.

But how about a new trend, particularly in the area of pet services.  Sure there are veterinarian offices in just about every town, and you go visit any of those shopping centers and usually find a big-box pet store anchored in one of the corner spots.

However, we've kind of stumbled upon a pair of services that has proven to be a wonderful experience.  And one that fits our busy schedules:  mobile pet groomers and mobile vets.

That's right, make an appointment, and then take a look out your window as soon enough there'll be a friendly white customized mobile offices that has everything you need.  Having stepped inside, these air-conditioned offices-on-wheels are quite elaborate and loaded with just about everything you'd find in a doctors office.

Of course, if your pet (in our case our dog) has a keen sense that we're up to something when he hears the beeping sound of the van backing up, but to us, it's a luxury and convenience that simply works.

Perhaps there'll soon be other "mobile" services that will make their way into our daily lives. A few glass companies have caught on with windshield repairs already.  But if you have a pet, be sure to do a simple search and see if one of these services has made its way into your areas.

It's kind of nice.
