Pet Grooming Services

 

Making sure your pet looks their best.

The Grooming Spa at Complete Care Animal Hospital makes sure no dog leaves without looking amazing and smelling divine! Our groomer, Dana, has over 25 years of professional grooming experience and strives to make each groom a positive experience for every pet.

 
 

    • We are by-appointment only, we do not take walk-ins.

    • All dogs who come for grooming must be current on their Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella vaccines, as well as a negative fecal check (intestinal parasite screening) within the last year. If you do not vet your pet with CCAH, we are happy to call your regular veterinarian to request those records.

    • Grooming appointments must be dropped off between 8-9 AM, and the groomer will call you and let you know when they can be picked up.

    • ANY PET FOUND TO HAVE FLEAS, TICKS OR INTERNAL PARASITES WILL BE TREATED AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE.

    • Gentle massaging bath with lots of TLC!

    • Premium shampoo

    • Anal glands expressed upon owner request

  • It’s more than just for looks!

    • Regular bathing improves your pet’s physical comfort by removing dirt, excess oil, dead skin, shedding hair, and parasites. Proper coat care prevents matting and other secondary conditions that could compromise your pet’s health.

    • Regular nail trims prevent overgrown nails, and also help prevent damage to carpets and hardwood floors. This is especially important with older pets.

    • Shaving and cleaning your pet’s paw pads remove hair where mats, burrs, salt, and other foreign objects can become lodged.

    • Ear cleaning discourages the growth of bacteria that can lead to painful infections.

Get to know our groomer, Dana.

  • I began my grooming career through a work program at my high school (class of ’80.) I started working at a dog grooming shop getting hands-on training learning the basics of brushing and bathing and then progressing into scissoring techniques while also learning how to style dogs according to the breed standards.

  • What I love most about being a groomer is looking at a dog and altering its appearance to enhance each dog’s beauty and spending my day surrounded by my canine friends.

  • The way I approach the grooming process is by allowing the dogs to have breaks to give them time to rest so that they are fresh for the final part of the groom which requires them to be standing on the table for thirty minutes or more. Some grooming establishments start and finish a dog before going to a new dog to work on. By working in an assembly-line fashion, all the dogs are given time for potty breaks and sleep time before they go back on the table for the finishing touches. This fragmented approach requires about the same amount of time per dog and the animal is more relaxed instead of rushed through to get to the next appointment.

  • The main thing that I would like clients to know is that I will take my time with their pet to get it comfortable with all the aspects of the grooming experience and to build a trusting bond with their best friend. I take personal pride in grooming a dog starting out as a puppy and working with them through their entire life. There is nothing more rewarding than sharing my life with these dogs and making them look their best.
