Professional Pet Grooming Services
At The Pet Stop, we offer professional pet grooming services for both dogs and cats.
Regular grooming is essential for your pet’s health. Brushing, bathing, and identifying changes in skin and coat help your pet feel their best and allow you to address health concerns early. The frequency of home care and professional grooming services can vary based on your pets breed, hair type, age, overall health and daily routines.
The Importance of Home Care Grooming Routines
At home brushing your pet is important to do regularly. For some pets, this becomes a daily routine while others do well with weekly brushing. Brushing benefits your pet by helping to remove shedding hair, and loosen dirt/ debris and dead skin cells. It also stimulates the skin to produce natural oils and helps to spread those oils over the skin and coat. You may be able to identify problem areas sooner such as dry/ flake skin, itchy and irritated areas, lumps and bumps, unusual hair loss, and even external parasites.
What do grooming services include?
Having your pet professionally groomed makes sense to many because groomers have expertise in handling, they know which tools to use based on the individual pet’s needs, which often produces a superior outcome, and it saves you time and clean up.
The services may vary based on your pet’s needs and the pet parent’s desires. They may include a combination of:
- Brushing & de-matting
- Bathing: shampoo or medicated shampoo
- Breed-specific hair cuts
- Nail trim or dremel (nail grinding for a smoother finish)
- Ear cleaning
- Anal gland expression
- Medically necessary grooming services
- Sedated grooming (under the care of the veterinary team)
