IMPORTANCE OF GROOMING

 

Grooming a pet is, above all, a fundamental activity for their health and well-being. Grooming includes basic hygiene care such as brushing, trimming (with scissors or clippers), bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning.

 

Taking care of these aspects of your pet is much more than just having a cute and cuddly pet. Regular and ongoing grooming can eliminate and prevent conditions such as skin problems, parasite infestations, excessive hair loss, nails that lead to incorrect paw and toe positioning, ear infections, and more.

 

The groomer must always be attentive and careful in checking the health of the animal's skin, coat, nails, and ears and reporting to their owners anything unusual or that was not present in a previous appointment. The groomer's work requires training and education, but any unusual situation should always be reported to the pet's owners and a visit to the attending veterinarian should be suggested, if necessary.

Veterinarians play a fundamental role in the health of our animals, and although grooming is a key aspect of our animals' health and well-being, treating pathologies or prescribing any treatments is exclusively handled by a veterinarian.

 

Below are some conditions detected during grooming services that were duly reported to owners. In some cases, a consultation with the attending veterinarian was suggested for further treatment.

 

 

Taking our pets to the pet spa once a month allows us to detect abnormal situations much earlier and intervene more quickly, contributing to a faster resolution of the problem and greater comfort for our pet.
