What Does Cat or Dog Grooming Entail?

Cat or dog grooming is the act of cleaning, styling, and caring for your pet. More specifically, the session may include:

  • Trimming/clipping any long nails and hair using sanitized tools
  • Brushing the matted hair to inspect for pests and infections, making it easy to lather the animal with a shampoo.
  • Inspecting the ears, eyes, teeth, and foot pads for any injuries and infections for treatment
  • Bathing, drying and treating your four-legged friend with specialized chemicals
  • Massaging the animal to relieve the animal from any muscle aches and stress
