Grooming

White and black puppy

The highly trained staff at North Kenilworth provides nail trimming, anal sac expression, and routine ear cleaning. Our staff is trained to identify potential medical concerns with your pet in these areas. Our office also provides full sedation nail trims to those patients that are too fearful to undergo the procedure while awake.

Unfortunately, we do not provide regular grooming services such as bathing and hair trimming at our office. However, we can provide recommendations upon request.

At home Guidance:
Keeping your pet well-groomed will also help keep them healthy. In today’s busy world, it is a tremendous way to take a break from the grind and bond with your pet through gentle touching and TLC.

Depending upon the breed, your dog’s hair should be bathed when they are dirty or smelly. Most dogs enjoy and will benefit from a daily brushing session. Ears should be cleaned every one to two weeks with an ear cleaner. And dogs that enjoy swimming should have more frequent ear cleanings.

Proper nail trim is important for comfortable walking and proper gait. Long nails that impact a dog’s gait can lead to joint issues down the road. Brush your dog’s teeth every day to help prevent infections and tooth loss. Use pet toothpaste and a soft brush on the outer surfaces of all the teeth. It should take about 20 seconds once your pet is used to it.

Cats really can use a little help with their grooming, and owners should pay attention to their eyes, ears, and coat. The key to good grooming lies in the length of the cat’s coat — the longer the coat, the more attention that should be paid to assisting your cat.
