Medical Pet Grooming in Florence, KY
While we’re not professional groomers, our veterinary team provides grooming support for pets who need medical assistance — such as cats requiring sedation for safe mat removal or shave-downs. Your pet’s comfort and health are our top priorities.
Specialized Grooming for Pets with Medical Needs
We offer medical grooming services tailored to pets who require extra care due to health conditions, skin sensitivities, age, or behavior concerns. Unlike traditional grooming, medical grooming is performed under veterinary supervision to ensure your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
Serving pet owners in Florence, KY and surrounding communities, our compassionate team combines gentle handling with clinical expertise to provide grooming that supports both hygiene and health.
What Is Pet Grooming?
Medical pet grooming includes services performed by trained professionals in a veterinary setting. It is ideal for pets who may not be good candidates for standard grooming facilities — such as those with anxiety, chronic skin issues, or underlying medical conditions.
Our Medical Grooming Services Include:
- Bathing services are not provided in-house, but we can guide you to a groomer who can help
- Anal gland expression, including dog anal gland expression, to prevent impaction or discomfort
- Ear cleaning and inspection to reduce the risk of infection
- Sanitary trims and mat removal to maintain hygiene
- Toenail trimming and paw care to prevent injuries or overgrowth
Depending on your pet’s temperament and health status, grooming can be performed with or without sedation. We prioritize comfort and safety every step of the way.
When Is Medical
Grooming Recommended?
We do not offer routine grooming services, but medical grooming may be recommended in specific cases — typically for cats requiring shaving under anesthesia to safely remove severe mats.
Medical pet grooming may be recommended if your pet:
- Has chronic skin conditions or allergies
- Requires prescription baths or medicated products
- Struggles with anxiety or aggression during grooming
- Is elderly or has limited mobility
- Experiences recurring issues with anal glands or ear infections
- Has a history of seizures, heart conditions, or other medical concerns
Because grooming is performed within a veterinary clinic, our medical team can address any signs of illness or abnormal findings immediately.
Why Pet Grooming Is Essential for Health
Grooming isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a vital part of your pet’s overall health. Regular baths, nail trims, and gland expression can prevent a range of health problems, from painful infections to mobility issues.
Neglecting grooming can lead to:
- Skin irritations and infections
- Painful matting that affects circulation and movement
- Impacted anal glands or ruptures
- Overgrown nails that alter gait and posture
- Undetected lumps, parasites, or wounds
Medical grooming helps keep your pet clean, comfortable, and healthy — especially when their needs go beyond routine care.
