Dog grooming van wrap ideas: 6 designs for mobile groomers

A mobile grooming van parks in a client's driveway for an hour or more. The neighbors see it. Their dogs need baths. The wrap is the sign for your shop on wheels.

This guide shows 6 ideas made with our free generator, plus layout rules for a grooming van and what each layout costs at two shops that publish prices. To try them with your own name, open the free van wrap design tool.

6 dog grooming van wrap ideas

Each image is a free watermarked WrapMockup preview. Every company is fictional. The lettering is drawn from typed text, so the name and phone come out spelled right.

1. Swoosh van with bright colors

Swoosh style dog grooming van wrap concept for Pawsh Mobile Grooming, a fictional company, purple and pink

Purple and pink with "Baths, trims, and nails" as the tagline. Bright colors stand out in a driveway. The swoosh adds motion without a photo, so the van stays easy to read.

2. Two-tone van for full service grooming

Two-tone dog grooming van wrap concept for Muddy Paws Grooming, a fictional company, teal and gold

"Full grooming at your door" says what sets a mobile groomer apart. Teal on the lower half and white above read from the curb and cost less than a full wrap.

3. Color block van for a dog and cat spa

Color block grooming van wrap concept for Tidy Tails Mobile Spa, a fictional company, navy and sky blue

"Dogs and cats, by appointment" tells cat owners you groom cats. Navy bands on the nose and along the base look like a business with a schedule.

4. Stripe van with a playful name

Stripe style grooming van wrap concept for Fetch and Fluff, a fictional company, red and yellow stripes

A fun name does the work. Two stripes run the length of the van and leave the white body clean, so the name stands out.

5. Minimal lettering for a new groomer

Minimal lettering grooming van wrap concept for Sudsy Pup Grooming, a fictional company, charcoal and green

Name, "Bath and brush outs," and a big phone number. A new groomer can start with lettering and add a wrap once the book fills up. This is the lowest cost layout.

6. Full color van for a second van

Full color grooming van wrap concept for Pawsh Mobile Grooming, a fictional company, purple with a pink accent

The purple and pink from idea 1, on every panel. When you add a second van, shared colors make both read as one business. Full color costs the most.

Layout rules for a grooming van

Put the phone and website on the curb side. A client walks up to the side door with the dog. That side faces the house in most driveways.
Keep text clear of vents, hoses, and doors. Grooming vans carry water tanks, a generator, and vents that cut through panels. Mark them on a photo of your van before the shop prints.
Say what you groom. "Dogs and cats" or "Large breeds welcome" sorts the calls before they come in.
Put the phone on the rear doors. Drivers read the back of the van at every light. Keep it above the bumper and clear of the door seam and handles.
Skip pet photos you do not own. A stock photo can bring a license fee. Bold color and a clean name do the job.

What each layout costs

Two shops that publish van prices give a range for each layout.

Door logos or lettering. Ardor Printing in Snohomish, WA starts door logos on both front doors at $350, and a door lettering package with logo, phone, website, and USDOT number at $495 (Ardor van wraps). Chicago Fleet Wraps starts cargo van lettering at $650 (Chicago Fleet Wraps commercial pricing).
Partial wrap. Ardor starts partials at $2,500. Chicago Fleet Wraps starts a cargo van partial at $2,300.
Full wrap. Ardor lists $3,900 to $4,800 for a compact van, $4,800 to $5,800 for a full-size low roof van, and $5,500 to $7,000 for a high roof van. Chicago Fleet Wraps starts a full cargo van wrap at $4,200, with design, cast vinyl, and a 2-year workmanship warranty included.
Design. Ardor quotes design on its own: from $1,000 for a full wrap and from $650 for a partial.

For model prices, read cargo van wrap cost, partial van wrap cost, and van lettering cost.

The ideas above map to these tiers. Idea 5 is lettering, ideas 2 and 4 are partials, ideas 1 and 3 sit between a partial and a full wrap, and idea 6 is a full wrap.

Colors that read from the street

Pick one dark color and one bright accent. Navy, charcoal, or deep green with orange, yellow, or lime reads from across a street.
Put the phone in white on a dark band, or in dark letters on white. Contrast matters more than size.
Test small. Shrink the preview to thumbnail size. If you can read the phone, a driver can.
