Lucky Dog Mobile Groomers Marks Major Growth Milestone with International Expansion to the UK

April 2026·NorthStar Finance·3 min read

NorthStar Finance is proud to announce a significant growth milestone for our portfolio company, Lucky Dog Mobile Groomers. The fast-growing U.S. brand has officially announced its international debut, with a planned launch in London, United Kingdom, scheduled for summer 2026.

This expansion represents a major step forward for Lucky Dog, which has rapidly scaled its operations since its founding in 2023. The company currently serves more than 40 service areas across over 20 states in the U.S., delivering professional, one-on-one grooming directly to customers' driveways. The move into the U.K. market underscores the rising global demand for convenience-based services and a growing consumer preference for lower-stress pet care solutions.

Edris Yousefi, founder of Lucky Dog Mobile Groomers, highlighted the strategic vision behind this expansion. "For us, this was never just about grooming. It's about building a better kind of service business," Yousefi stated. "When you combine convenience, real care for pets, and a model that empowers local owners, you end up with something that can scale in a meaningful way. London is the first step in what we see as a much bigger global opportunity."

The London market will be spearheaded by licensee Phil Mowat, who has partnered closely with Yousefi to adapt the successful U.S. model for the U.K. following extensive market research. Mowat noted the clear demand for high-quality, convenient pet services in the region, emphasizing that Lucky Dog's approach prioritizes the well-being of the pets.

Lucky Dog Mobile Groomers has built a strong reputation by redefining the pet-grooming experience. By eliminating car rides, noisy salons, and stressful cage times, the company provides personalized care and attention at the customer's home. With over 75,000 dogs groomed and more than 1,000 five-star reviews, the brand has demonstrated a proven model of success and reliability.

At NorthStar Finance, we partner with companies that demonstrate strong leadership, scalable models, and a commitment to excellence. Lucky Dog's international expansion is a testament to the strength of its brand and the effectiveness of its operational strategy. We look forward to supporting their continued growth as they bring their premium mobile grooming experience to new markets globally.
