Pet Stylist
A Pet Stylist is Now Available at Tanilba Bay Veterinary Hospital
At Tanilba Bay Veterinary Hospital we have a fully equipped grooming facility, separate from the clinic for hygeine and safety.
The grooming facility is fully equipped with a hydrobath, new clippers and grooming accessories and a new hydraulic grooming table for safety and comfort.
A pick up and delivery service can be provided for a small extra charge.
What is Grooming?
Grooming is more than just a hair cut. It may include bathing, combing, brushing, clipping nails, cutting or shaving mats, cleaning and plucking ears, controlling external parasites and expressing anal glands.
Why Choose a Pet Stylist?
You may not have the time, equipment, experience or knowledge to adequately groom your pet.
Some animals such as poodles have their hair groomed into particular styles which require a professional.
Some pets require seasonal clipping, medicated or flea baths, removal of odours or harmful substances or the removal of matted fur.
A trained pet stylist can more safely and humanely handle tricky procedures and temperamental or frightened animals.
Removing severe mats should always be done by a trained professional to avoid accidental cuts.
Because the grooming facility is associated with the Veterinary Practice, animals which are temperamental or extremely anxious can be safely sedated if necessary.
What Haircuts are Available?
Our stylist can do any style from a short back and sides to a fancy poodle clip.
Make sure you discuss with us how you would like your pet styled.
Short and Sweet Goodbyes.
Finally, when you drop your pet off for styling, say goodbye to your pet quickly. Emotional departures may increase your pet's stress level.
When you pick up your pet both of you will enjoy that clean, mat-free coat that makes pets - and their carers - more comfortable.
