Grooming
Did you
know that regular grooming can contribute to a longer and healthier life for
your pet? Grooming will keep your pet's skin healthy, comfortable and clean.
During your pet's visit, special attention is given to often over looked parts
of the body.
 The
skin is thoroughly inspected for early detection of sores, growths and bald
spots. The hair around the eyes, ears, mouth, paw pads and perianal region are
all cleaned and trimmed keeping them free of irritants and mats. Nails are
checked and trimmed; overgrown toenails contribute to a number of issues
including chiropractic problems, joint pain and stiffness.
 There
are many benefits to having your dog or cat groomed. While frequency will
depend on the breed, coat type and lifestyle of your pet, regular grooming
sessions will help your pet to remain a healthy and clean companion to you.
