Grooming

Bathing and Grooming

We offer gentle cleansing spa baths, therapeutic bathing, and blow drying to both cats and dogs.

We also provide the following services upon request:

• nail trimming
• comb-outs
• brushing
• mat shaving
• lion cuts
• hygiene clips
• anal gland expression

Grooming patients must be a current patient of record at Atlantic Veterinary Hospital, current on physical exams, vaccines and intestinal parasite control, and in good general health.

Please thoroughly discuss your pet’s grooming needs with our receptionist so she may properly schedule your appointment.

Grooming for debilitated pets must be coordinated through one of our doctors to ensure the safety and comfort of the pet.

If sedation is required for grooming, such as with some cats under going a lion cut, the appointment must be coordinated through one of our doctors, who will examine the pet, and administer and monitor the sedation.
