Grooming Your Pet

Even though dogs and cats do groom parts of themselves periodically, it's still important to bathe your furry companion and trim its nails and fur. You can bathe your pet at home, but it’s a good idea to get your pet professionally groomed every once in a while. At Best Care Animal Hospital, serving Spring, Tomball, and Houston, TX, our team provides grooming and other pet care and veterinary services to keep your animal healthy and happy.

Grooming Keeps Your Pet Healthy

By bathing your pet at least monthly, you're removing accumulated dirt, oils, and other substances growing on the skin and in the fur. If you don't have time to give your pet a complete bath, regularly giving it a thorough brushing can also naturally help restore your pet’s skin. Professional grooming keeps the skin clean and healthy. However, it is important not to groom or bathe your pet too often, as this strips the skin of natural oils.

Grooming Helps Prevent Parasites

Grooming your pet regularly allows you to know if your pet is dealing with any flea or tick issues. Fleas and ticks are tiny, and both are bothersome. Ticks can even transmit diseases to your animal. Brushing your pet with a special pet comb and then following through with a flea comb can help you spot and remove the parasites. Our team can also spot these parasites and provide treatment.

Nail Trimming

At our animal hospital, we also offer nail trimming. Nail trimming never needs to be a task you have to perform on your own, unless you're comfortable. Whether you do it or we do it, nails should be trimmed about once per month to prevent nail curling and pain in your pet's feet. This is important in keeping your animal healthy and in preventing destruction in your home from long nails.
