If you are looking for pet grooming from a veterinarian near you, we at Neighborhood Veterinary Center in Hallandale Beach, FL, are here to help. Let’s go over what kinds of hygiene care pets may need to stay happy and healthy as well as how our staff can help.
What Grooming Care Does My Pet Need?
That depends partly on the kind of pet you have. Cats can bathe themselves but dogs need you to bathe them from time to time. Other tasks that are part of caring for your pet may include the following:
● Trimming their nails
● Cleaning their ears
● Brushing them
Why Is Pet Grooming Important?
It’s not just about your pet’s appearance. Grooming provides other, potentially important health benefits for your pet, including that it:
● Maintains a healthy coat
● Helps prevent skin problems
● Allows for early detection of health issues, such as lumps or rashes
● Lowers the risk of joint pain
● Helps keep your pet happy and comfortable
What If My Pet Doesn’t Like Nail Trimming?
Some pets don’t like having their paws touched but they still need their nails trimmed. We can provide advice on how to help your pet get used to having you handle their paws and nails or we can trim them for you.
Long nails can snag on surfaces or break, leading to injuries in your pet, making it important to trim the nails of your pet when necessary.
When Should I Bring My Pet in for Grooming?
We may be able to trim your pet’s nails or clean his ears after his routine wellness visits or you can make an appointment if you notice any of the following:
● Your pet’s nails are long enough to touch the floor
● Your pet’s ears have visible dirt or debris
● You see any signs of health issues, such as skin or ear problems
