3 Benefits of Professional Pet Grooming
Each year, countless pet owners put off grooming their pets altogether. Whether it's because they think their pet can clean themselves or they don't have the time, owners have various reasons for putting off grooming. However, pets can't groom every part of their bodies, and serious health complications can arise from something as simple as matted fur. Some of the benefits of professional pet grooming include:
- Improving Hygiene: Over time, your pet's fur collects dead skin and dirt that can grow bacteria and create a bad smell. By professionally grooming your pet, we'll thoroughly clean their fur and improve their overall hygiene.
- Eliminating Fleas: Fleas may seem like just a nuisance that causes your pet to scratch themselves. However, if left untreated, fleas can cause diseases like anemia. Professional grooming checks for and eliminates fleas. Additionally, we offer special flea treatment that helps prevent them from impacting your pet's health in the future.
- Detecting Health Issues: Although most signs of health complications are outwardly noticeable, your pet's skin is a crucial indicator of more severe problems. However, their fur creates a barrier that makes it easy to miss bumps, lumps, and skin color changes. Our Gastonia dog grooming team will meticulously check under your pet's fur for signs of health complications and alert you to any that we notice.
Working With Your Pet's Unique Personality
Before we take your pet in for grooming, we'll sit down with you to understand their personality. Are they more comfortable around women than men? Do certain sounds make them anxious? Is there a part of their body that they don't like being touched? Afterward, we'll take the information you provide and personalize our grooming services to fit your pet's unique personality. Regardless of your pet's temperament, we'll treat them with compassion and respect to help them feel as relaxed as possible.
Our Excellent Grooming Services
At Dickson Animal Clinic, we're privileged to offer various grooming services to help improve your pet's health. Our team is more than happy to answer any questions you may have about our services so that you know what each treatment entails before your pet's appointment. Additionally, we can perform one or multiple services depending on your unique budget.
Our Gastonia dog grooming services include:
Fur Trimming: We offer fur trimming for dogs. Although your pet does a good job of maintaining their fur themselves, age and obesity can prevent them from reaching parts of their body and lead to matted fur. Heavy matting traps moisture on the surface of your pet's skin and leads to the growth of fungus, bacteria, and mold. Our team has experience working around warts, moles, skin folds, and anal glands to prevent cuts and nicks.
Shampoo Baths: Our practice provides gentle medicated and non-medicated shampoo baths for dogs. It's crucial that your pet hasn't received a recent bath before their visit, as their skin produces natural oils that protect them from health complications like infections. We understand how to safely clean each part of your pet's body, including their face. Additionally, our baths feature traction mats that prevent your pet from feeling unsteady and uncomfortable.
Nail Trimming: Your pet's nails play a vital role in helping them run, hold objects, and climb. However, if their nails become too long, they can prevent your pet from walking correctly and lead to arthritis, bone deformation, and bad posture. Our Gastonia dog grooming team will carefully trim your pet's nails while avoiding cutting the quick.
Ear Cleaning: Everyday pet activities like swimming and playing in dirt allow bacteria to enter their ear canal and create a moist environment for bacterial growth. Regular ear cleaning plays a vital role in preventing your pet from experiencing ear infections and hearing loss. Our team uses alcohol-free cleaning supplies and understands how to clean the ears of lop-eared dogs.
