Grooming for Your Pet’s Health, Not Cosmetics

Some grooming is about more than appearance — it’s about keeping your pet comfortable and healthy. We specialize in medically necessary grooming: therapeutic medicated baths for pets with skin conditions, severe mat removal, and low-stress or medically supervised grooming for pets who need a gentler approach. During a visit, we’re also happy to provide nail trims and anal gland expression as part of your pet’s care.

Low-Stress & Medically Supervised Grooming

We understand that some pets find grooming stressful — and for those who can’t tolerate a traditional groomer, whether due to anxiety, pain, or a medical condition, a supervised approach makes all the difference. For pets who need it, we can offer sedated shave-downs when medically necessary. Because sedation is involved, these require an examination with one of our veterinarians and possibly blood work beforehand, so we can be sure it’s safe for your pet. If you have a fearful, senior, or medically fragile pet who needs help getting cleaned up, we’re glad to talk through the safest options with you.

Therapeutic & Medicated Care

For pets with skin conditions, a medicated bath can be an important part of treatment — soothing irritation, addressing infection, and complementing the care plan from our veterinary team. Because these needs often overlap with skin and allergy issues, our grooming works hand in hand with our pet dermatology care to keep your pet comfortable.

For Routine, Cosmetic Grooming

We focus on grooming that supports your pet’s health rather than cosmetic styling. For routine, full-service grooming, we recommend the All-Pet Groomery, located in our parking lot. Please note that the Groomery operates independently of the hospital, so you’ll need to contact them directly to schedule an appointment.

As an AAHA-accredited hospital serving the community for over 50 years, we bring the same medical standards to grooming that we bring to everything we do. Medically necessary grooming pairs naturally with our pet wellness and preventive care, supporting your pet’s overall health.
