Pet Grooming With Our Johnston Veterinary Team
Pet grooming is an extremely important health maintenance service that your cat or dog will need periodically throughout its life. At Rush Animal Care in Johnston, our veterinary clinic employs several experienced and knowledgeable pet groomers who can make your four-legged friend look gorgeous and healthy.
The Importance of Regularly Grooming & Bathing Your Animal
Cats and dogs should be brushed, bathed, and/or groomed regularly. For instance, nails should be trimmed, coats should be brushed, and skin, ears, and teeth should be inspected. Here are a few reasons why:
- Regular grooming helps keep your pet's coat and skin clean and healthy, which can reduce the risk of skin infections, matted hair, torn nails, and other issues.
- Pet grooming can regulate your pets body temperature better since extra and/or undercoats off hair and fur is removed.
- Pet groomers are often the first people to notice early signs of a potential health issue affecting the skin, coat, ears, or even other body parts (e.g., lumps and bumps on the body or limbs). This may include underlying problems such as skin infections, ear infections, hormonal disorders, parasites, nutritional deficiencies, medication side effects, and even certain cancers.
- Groomed animals look comfortable, beautiful, and healthy!
