Routine

Full grooming includes luxurious spa bath, full haircut (as required), towel dry or speed dry, nail trim, external anal gland expression, and ear cleaning. Our groomers are not only committed to the physical and emotional health of your pet, but are also committed to make sure your pet looks and feels their very best. For some pets, this takes a little time; we will never rush a pet. We like to take the time necessary to assure that your pet has enjoyable experience and looks forward to coming back! In order to give your pet the amount of time they need, we do not provide a predetermined pick-up time. Instead, our groomer will contact you when your pet is ready for pick-up as appointments may take up to several hours.

A key benefit of routine grooming at our facilities is that we learn to know your pet, allowing us to recognize developing problems before escalating (i.e. skin conditions, parasite infections, new lumps or masses, swelling, tenderness, etc.).

Most animals can be groomed without sedation or anesthesia; however, there are many pet patients who require a little sedation to achieve adequate grooming. Primary candidates for our sedated pet grooming service are animals who struggle with behavioral aggression, those who are easily stressed, and those who struggle with physical pain, particularly due to heavy matting.

Our main priority is our patient’s safety and comfort. We have a full in-house grooming facility at the hospital, complete with the latest anesthesia and monitoring systems. Our groomers work closely with Registered Technicians and Veterinarians to ensure the safety of your pet during grooming while under sedation. Doctors and technicians will perform pre-anesthetic testing, administer medications as necessary, and monitor your pet during the entirety of their visit.

If you believe your pet may benefit from our sedated pet grooming service, please contact our staff today to schedule a consultation with our veterinarian and groomer.
