Before your dog grooming appointment

We recommend that visitors to our animal hospital be healthy and up to date on their immunizations. Our pet groomers groom dozens of dogs each week. If you visit a groomer, please keep records of any illnesses that your dog has suffered such as kennel cough, canine influenza, and rabies.

During your dog grooming appointment

During your visit, your groomer will provide services that are absolutely essential, such as:

  • Bath brush

  • Ear cleaning

  • Nail trimming

  • Hair trimming

  • Flea & tick bath

  • Sanitary trim

  • Anal gland expression

  • Teeth brushing

It’s important to work with a professional dog groomer who is experienced in working with all breeds of dogs. Additionally, experienced groomers can make a first-time dog grooming appointment less stressful for your pet.

After your dog grooming appointment

Your responsibilities as a dog parent will not end once your dog has been groomed. Looking after your dog’s fur and health through regular brushing, bathing, and nail trimming at home can help make dog grooming sessions easier.

It can be a good idea to introduce some grooming habits as part of your puppy training. This is important as it will help your dog feel more relaxed and comfortable when it comes to grooming.
