Nail trims for Dogs, Cats and Other Pets
Nail trims can pose challenges, but I aim to eliminate that entirely. I offer two options for trimming: basic clippers and a dremel (file). It's important to note that dremeling may not be suitable for all pets, as it requires patience and tolerance for vibrations and noise. However, we can gradually introduce and acclimate pets to this method. Utilizing a dremel enables a closer and smoother cut, reducing post-trim scratching.
Anal Gland Expression
Does your dog exhibit scooting behavior, have a foul odor, emit a fishy smell, or frequently lick the anal area? These symptoms may indicate an anal gland issue. I typically suggest performing anal gland expressions outdoors due to the associated odor. However, I utilize special wipes and sprays to alleviate your dog's unpleasant odor. I am trained to internally express the anal glands, ensuring their thorough expression. It's worth noting that most groomers express from the outside.
Ear cleaning/Flushing of the ear canal
Pets with allergies are advised to have their ears cleaned regularly. Allergies can increase the susceptibility of pets to ear infections. However, it is important to note that even if your pet doesn't have allergies, regular ear cleaning may still be necessary. The amount of debris produced in the ears varies among pets. The ear cleaner I employ contains a drying agent, as well as antibacterial and antifungal properties. However, this will not treat an ongoing infection.
Sanitary Trims
This service is particularly beneficial for pets that do not require a full trim but still require assistance in maintaining cleanliness. Neglecting to trim the hair around the anus or other private areas can result in issues such as fecal impaction and infections. As part of this service, I carefully remove all hair surrounding the private area, leaving it clean and hygienic.
Paw Trims
Does your pet have "Grinch paws"? Excessive hair on your pet's paws can lead to traction issues on smooth or wooden floors. This can affect mobility, balance, and potentially result in infections. By removing the excess hair between the paw pads, your pet can experience increased comfort and improved mobility.
Soft Paws- Feline only
This solution is ideal for addressing the issue of cats scratching furniture or causing harm. It involves using silicone caps that are placed over your pet's claws and securely glued using pet-safe adhesive. These caps typically need replacement every 4-6 weeks, depending on the rate of nail growth. Initially, the first set may not last as long as your pet adjusts to wearing them, but subsequent sets tend to last the full duration. This method provides a humane alternative to declawing.
Mat Removal with clippers- No Full Shaves
If your pet occasionally experiences mats but doesn't require a complete grooming session, I can assist with this. I employ either clippers or scissors, depending on the severity and tightness of the mats.
Drop-in Visits/ Pet Sitting Consults
Prior to your extended absence, I kindly request that we schedule a meeting to review paperwork, acquaint myself with your pets, and establish a routine. Please note that this consultation requires dedicated time and is subject to a associated fee. I am limited on availability, so book early!

At Home Blood Glucose Curve
Please note that while blood glucose curves are often recommended, your vet may opt for a fructosamine test instead. Prior to your appointment, I will confirm with your vet to ensure we're conducting the correct test. As a specialized service provider, I will come to your home to collect readings, which I will then deliver to your vet for analysis.
Medication Administration-Prescribed By Vet
As a RVT, I possess the necessary licensing to administer injections to pets. These injections can be given via intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous routes. It's important to note that medications requiring administration must be prescribed by a veterinarian. To ensure accuracy, I will contact your veterinarian's office to confirm the prescribed dose and the appropriate administration route. This service is particularly beneficial for pets receiving Adequan injections, & SQ fluids , ex.
Limited Bathing
I provide bathing services; however, please note that these services have certain limitations. Since I conduct all services in clients' homes, I require a suitable bathing area, such as a bath tub, to perform the bathing. These services are only available for small dogs (short hair), and cats. Rest assured that any mess created during the procedure will be thoroughly cleaned up, and the area will be returned to its previous condition.

NO FULL HAIR CUTS-I AM NOT A GROOMER! I AM A RVT!
I do not offer in-home grooming services for several reasons:
- Mess and ventilation: Grooming can create a significant mess, and residential settings often lack proper ventilation systems to manage the resulting hair and dander effectively.
- Time-consuming: A complete haircut can be a lengthy process that requires multiple breaks and considerations for the pet's stress levels, making it difficult to accommodate within a single appointment.
- Lack of professional training in grooming cuts.

A Routine Trim Turned Life-Changing
🐾Haylee’s Vulva Makeover —!
Meet Haylee — a 10-year-old sweetheart I’ve known (and adored!) for years. Her mom is a longtime client and friend, and I always enjoy my visits with this lovely pair.
Haylee and I have a little nail trim routine: she lays down on her side, gets lots of treats from mom, and wears a muzzle just to keep things honest. She’s used to the process now and handles it like a champ. 💛
But during one of these routine “just a nail trim” visits, something wasn’t right. As Haylee rolled onto her side, I noticed a strong odor—and quickly spotted that her vulva area was red, (like flamming hot red) inflamed, and clearly uncomfortable. Since she’s a bigger girl, it’s not unusual that no one had noticed—rolling her over isn’t exactly a one-person job at home!
What I saw appeared to be a recessed (or “hooded”) vulva, a condition where excess skin folds trap moisture and bacteria, often leading to painful infections. It’s more common in spayed females and can go unnoticed for years.
I talked with her mom about what I was seeing and suggested a vet visit. Sure enough, the vet confirmed it—and said it was one of the worst cases they’d ever seen.
So Miss Haylee got herself a little “nip & tuck” ✂️✨—a vulvoplasty to remove the excess tissue and help prevent future infections. And now? She’s a brand-new girl: comfortable, infection-free, and ready for whatever life brings next. (Possibly another round of treats and belly rubs).
You never know what we’ll spot during a “just a nail trim.”That quick visit can make a big difference in your pet’s comfort and health when you work with veterinary professionals.

A Routine Trim Turned Life-Changing
*A Routine Trim Turned Life-Changing***
Meet this handsome guy 😺— what started as a simple nail trim turned into something much bigger. A quick look in his mouth raised some red flags, and after a recommended vet visit, he ended up having 9 teeth removed. He now has just 3 teeth left!
Did you know cats have 30 teeth—only two fewer than humans? Imagine how tiny those must be to fit in their little mouths! Sadly, dental disease can creep in without obvious signs. This kitty had already lost several teeth on his own or only had roots left.
👉 Did you also know that approximately 50–90% of cats over the age of four have some form of dental disease? That’s right — it often starts as early as age four. 😿
Aging comes with surprises, but having a medical professional come to your home makes it easier to spot subtle changes before they become major problems. This was just a nail trim — until it wasn’t.

Peanut Allergy
I do use peanut butter as one of the treats I offer to pets. Please inform me if anyone in the household has a peanut butter allergy, even if the allergic person is not present during the appointment. It is crucial that we do not use peanut butter in such cases. For instance, if a dog licks peanut butter and then comes into contact with an allergic person's leg or face, it could pose a risk. Please notify me immediately of any allergies.
