Professional Pet Grooming
Pet grooming is more than cosmetic; it offers many health benefits, as well. Helping your pet stay clean plays no small part in keeping them healthy. Regular grooming keeps fur from matting, controls dander, improves shedding and keeps pets cool in the summer. Furthermore, grooming can prevent irritation of the skin caused by dirt and oil buildup, and even fleas.

Additional Benefits Your Pet Can Expect
Along with returning your pet's coat to a shiny, healthy state, our grooming staff can also take the opportunity to check for lumps, bumps, and parasites. We can also check their nails and paw pads. Well-trimmed nails promote a healthy gait and posture.
In addition to routine professional grooming, brushing your pet at home on a regular basis will also keep their coat healthier. Brushing removes loose hairs, matts and dead skin cells, and gives you and your pet valuable bonding time. Contact our hospital if you would like to schedule a grooming appointment for your pet, and feel free to ask our advice about proper grooming practices at home. A well-groomed pet is a happy pet!
