Good grooming is healthy, too!

"Why is good grooming important?"

In addition to regular veterinary care, a good diet, and physical exercise, grooming is also an important

part of your pets' good health.

Here are some reasons why:

Combing and brushing your pet can detect skin problems, fleas and ticks, abscesses, and infections from matted fur,

and life threatening tumors.

Bathing your pet can help common conditions such as oily or dry skin, along with less common conditions which

can be treated with medicated shampoos.

Bathing is also an opportunity to feel any unusual lumps, bumps or scales that may need veterinary attention.

Ear cleaning is necessary for the prevention and detection of infection, ear mites, and any unusual

redness, lumps, bumps or swelling.

Nail clipping can spare your pet from the pain and surgery of a torn nail, or a nail that grows back into the pad.

Regular dental examinations and treatments can avoid more costly and painful procedures.

Regular grooming can help family members who are allergic to pets.

Our groomers are individually trained by veterinarians to check your pet for all of these health issues each

time they groom your pet.
