Keeping your dog or cat clean and well-groomed can add immeasurable quality to their life. 

Town and Country Veterinary Clinic provides complete grooming and bathing services for your pet.  On-site professional groomers are available to provide convenient, full-service dog and cat grooming for both medical and cosmetic needs.  Having your pet professionally groomed accomplishes more than just making your pet's coat look nice and shiny.  Ear cleaning, nail clipping and anal gland expression are included in the bathing and grooming fee. Extra charges may be added for matted coats, medicated shampoos, flea treatments, overgrown coats, and challenging patients which require additional time and/or sedation.  Medicated baths and de-skunking baths are available as well.

We recommend that new puppies get groomed at 12 to 16 weeks of age to get the puppy used to the bath, ear cleaning, a minor trim/groom, and nail trim.  The length of time between grooming sessions depends on the breed of dog, but we recommend every 8-10 weeks as a general rule. 

What about cats?  They like to be clean too.  Having your cat professionally bathed and groomed keeps the skin and coat healthy and greatly decreases the occurrence of problem hairballs.  Grooming also keeps your cat's hair matt-free.

Prior to grooming, all dogs must have an annual DHLPP and Bordetella Booster and a current Rabies vaccine. All cats should have an annual FVRCP Booster and a current Rabies vaccine.  Appointments are necessary and may be combined with a doctor's visit if requested in advance.  Professional, experienced groomers are available to speak to you about your pet’s specific needs. Grooming appointments are available Monday through Friday.  Bathing appointments can be scheduled 7 days a week.
