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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
