We also provide the following services upon request:

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. Also, please download, print, and bring the completed Grooming Admission form with you to 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.
