Because a well-groomed pet is a happy pet.

Grooming is about more than making your pet look good – it’s an important part of keeping them happy and healthy. If their coat isn’t regularly maintained, pets can develop matting, get grass seeds caught in their fur, and suffer from sore, infected skin. Some pets find the grooming process stressful, which can make them wriggly, defensive, or difficult to handle, and this can lead to accidental injury for both you and your pet.

In some cases, safe and thorough grooming may not be possible without sedation. While our staff are not professional groomers, they are friendly, supportive, and focused on your pet’s wellbeing. When your pet’s health is at risk, sedation-assisted grooming may be the best option. In these situations, the team at Humpty Doo Veterinary Hospital can help.
