Benefits of Grooming

Appearance:
Your pet will come home smelling fresh, looking clean, and having a beautiful haircut.

Coat Evaluation: The groomer will examine your pet’s skin and coat for any irregularities, such as bumps, flaky skin, and external parasites.

Eyes and Ears:
The groomer will identify any problems with the eyes and/or ears (redness, odor or discharge) of your pet and report any problems to one of our experienced veterinarians.

Nail Trim:
Your pet’s nails will be trimmed during the grooming appointment.

What age can a pet be groomed?
12-16 weeks of age. Even if your pet does not need a full groom, this is the best age to get your pet used to the clippers and other procedures involved in a full grooming.

How often should my pet be groomed?
Melissa will be happy to set up a schedule with you based on your pet’s needs. But, on average, groomable breeds should be groomed at 4-8 week intervals.

Can my pet be groomed and see a veterinarian on the same day?
Most veterinary procedures, such as updating vaccines or investigating health concerns, can be completed the same day your pet is groomed.

Do you groom cats?
Yes! While many cats do a great job of grooming themselves, there are a few breeds that need some help. Let Melissa show you how your cat would benefit from a professional groom.
