Besides washing and grooming, services offered by a pet grooming service include brushing and detangling, nail clipping, ear cleaning and treatments against fleas and other pests.

Clipping your pet’s claws is more than just a cosmetic improvement. Many dogs and cats need to be able to wear down their claws so that they do not injure themselves, your furniture – even you! In the wild, animals with claws scratch them on rocks and trees, but in the home there is no opportunity to do this. Pets can develop ingrown lengths of claws that can prevent them from having full mobility. Your grooming service will be able to trim your pet’s claws for you.

Cat and dog grooming is more than just a visual thing: clean fur needs clean skin and a healthy body. Heartworms, ticks and fleas can infest your pet no matter how well groomed they are. Asking your grooming service to include a treatment to prevent these infestations means that you are taking a holistic approach to your pet’s health.

A good dog wash can stop Rex from smelling bad, but dog grooming, and pet grooming in general, is more than just a cosmetic intervention. A truly clean house pet is free from insect pests, inside and out, and enjoys a healthy disposition as well as a fine coat.
