Medical grooming at Avon Animal Hospital goes beyond aesthetics. Our grooming services are designed for dogs and cats who need a clinical or supportive approach, whether due to a skin condition, a heavily matted coat, anxiety around nail care, or the need for a full sedated shave. Our veterinary team oversees every medical grooming appointment, ensuring that each service is performed safely and with your pet's health and comfort as the priority.
Medicated baths are an effective, non-invasive way to support skin health in dogs and cats dealing with flea and tick infestations. At Avon Animal Hospital, our medicated bath service uses veterinary-grade products suited to both dogs and cats, addressing active parasite concerns on the skin and coat. The service is available for either species and is not restricted to one type of pet. Our team will assess your pet's skin and coat before the bath and recommend the appropriate product based on their individual needs. Medicated baths are often used alongside other preventive care measures for best results.
Severely matted coats can trap moisture, restrict movement, and cause significant discomfort or skin irritation for your pet. Dematting at Avon Animal Hospital is performed carefully by trained staff who work through tangles and mats with patience and appropriate tools. For pets with very severe or extensive matting, a sedated approach may be the safest and most humane option to complete the procedure without causing distress. We assess each pet individually and discuss the best approach with you before proceeding. Dematting services are available for dogs and cats.
Many pets are highly anxious or reactive during nail trims, and in some cases the stress of a standard trim can be unsafe for the pet or the handler. Avon Animal Hospital offers sedated nail trims for dogs and cats who require additional support to have their nails trimmed safely. A light sedative is used under veterinary supervision, and your pet is monitored throughout. Sedated nail trims allow for a complete and thorough trim while keeping your pet calm and reducing the risk of injury during the process.
A sedated shave may be recommended for pets with severely matted coats that cannot be safely managed through dematting alone, or for pets who are too anxious to tolerate a full coat shave while conscious. The procedure is performed under veterinary supervision with your pet's safety and comfort monitored throughout. We do not use specific style names for our shaves, and the goal is always a clean, safe result that supports your pet's skin health and ease of movement. Sedated shave is available for dogs and cats.
