Pet Grooming

An important part of caring for a dog or cat is providing it with routine pet grooming. Grooming your pet helps to keep it clean and free from potential medical problems. If you need help grooming your pet, a trip to Grand Park Animal Clinic in the City to meet with our veterinarian is an option. Read on to learn why it is important to groom pets, how you can provide grooming at home, and what our vet can do to assist.

Why Pets Require Regular Grooming Sessions

If you do not groom your dog or cat regularly, they will eventually have an unkempt appearance. This is often paired with an odor. People will shy away from spending time with your dog or cat, leading to possible anxiety or depression for the animal. The pet could also become ill if it happens to lick at its fur and ingest something poisonous or bacteria-filled. Routine grooming sessions are important not only to keep an animal clean, but they also aid in the discovery of medical troubles that require treatment in a timely manner.

How to Groom Your Pet at Home

One easy task you can conduct at home that helps your pet is combing or brushing their coat. This will help to keep fur from becoming tangled and matted. When the fur strands are separated with grooming, they are less likely to accumulate debris. A pet also requires bathing sessions when they come into contact with harmful agents or excessive dirt. These can be done in a bathtub or sink using warm water and an appropriate soap for pets. Make sure to remove all remnants of the soap from the animal's fur and dry their body completely for their comfort. Nail or claw clipping, ear cleaning, and tooth brushing should also be conducted to keep your pet in optimal health.

What Our Veterinarian Will Do to Help

If your pet does not care for grooming activities, our City veterinarian may be able to help. Our staff members have plenty of experience with the handling of dogs and cats and know which moves are necessary to make pets feel secure and relaxed while grooming is taking place. Our vet will first conduct a wellness examination of your pet. If a medical problem is noticed, it will be treated appropriately. Our vet will then assist with the cleaning and maintenance actions necessary for your pet to feel and look their best.
