Grooming

Because every pet deserves the best, here are just some of the benefits of regular grooming:

• A pet that feels fresh as a daisy. Never underestimate what this can do for their mental well-being, especially in older pets who are less able to keep themselves clean
• An important part of their healthcare, dead hair and dirt will be removed and painful matts prevented
• Grooming can have a massaging effect on the skin such that blood supply is stimulated, the result is a healthy and shiny coat
• Nail length is kept in check, preventing in-growing nail problems and discomfort when exercising
• Cleaning and plucking ears helps to keep them free from infection
• Grooming your pets can help keep your home clean from hair, dirt and bacteria shed by your pet

This is a guide and the final fees charged will be based upon actual size, coat length, degree of matting, time since last groom and to some degree, behaviour of dog. Please always ask for an estimate prior to grooming once we have met your dog and discussed your requirements.

Excess matt removal:
Where more than approximately 15% of coat is severely matted, there will be additional charges.

Our nursing team carry out cat grooming for cats who have long hair and become matted. In general, sedation is necessary so we use a small amount of a reversible sedation and monitor your cat so we can reverse the sedation if necessary. As long haired cats gets older they can find it difficult to groom themselves and are often left with severely matted coats which they cannot manage themselves.
