Chula Vista Dog Groomer Services

Grooming dogs, and to an extent cats, in Chula Vista, is an important part of their preventative health care. Dogs should be groomed professionally so that their coats are washed and brushed properly, their nails are trimmed safely, ears are cleaned and their anal glands are expressed. Our professionally trained dog groomer can also carefully examine your dog’s coat to spot any skin or coat abnormalities and fleas and ticks.

Grooming is Best Done at Veterinary Hospitals

When you bring your pet to the groomer at our animal vet clinic, you are not only ensuring that your pet gets the very best possible care by our fully trained professionals, but if our groomer notices anything abnormal, they can have the veterinarian take a look.

If your dog requires sedation prior to grooming, then our animal vet clinic will take all the necessary precautions to make sure your pet is healthy and accept medication. We will perform a routine exam to ensure that the pet is healthy enough for sedation and then we will administer the anesthetic or sedation. The pet will be carefully monitored as they are being groomed.

Sedation while being groomed is recommended by an animal hospital veterinarian if the pet is especially neglected with vast amounts of matted fur close to the skin, or if they have previously been unmanageable during grooming experiences. Some pets do not react well to being groomed despite being handled by a professional dog groomer. The veterinary community suggests not bathing your puppy until they are at least 10 or 12 weeks of age, and later still if they are a small breed.

While cats may appear to be self-sufficient groomers, even they can benefit from professional grooming. Regular brushing, baths with specially formulated shampoo, nail clipping and regular dental care are all a part of a cat’s grooming needs. You may be able to handle many of these chores themselves but professional grooming can still be necessary Chula Vista.

Cats with long hair can easily develop matted fur. This is an extreme annoyance to cats and it is a problem that can quickly lead to skin issues. Professional groomers at our veterinary hospitals can handle a variety of specialty trims. Our groomer can provide services for cats that need a lion shave for comfort, or they can deal with excessively matted fur.
