Here at Plaza Veterinary Hospital, we want to help you take the best possible care of your pet. Our team offers comprehensive medical services to help you do that, as well as a full range of dog and cat grooming services. While most pet owners agree that keeping their pet well-groomed keeps their pets happier, many don’t know that grooming will also help keep them healthier as well. In this article, we’ll go over some of the reasons why grooming is an essential part of pet care.

Why Grooming is an Essential Part of Pet Care

  • It Helps Catch Problems Early- Regularly grooming your pets is a great way to stay in tune with their overall health and will allow you to more easily spot potential problems before they become serious. As part of our grooming services here at Plaza Veterinary Hospital, we will examine your pet’s eyes, ears, and teeth to identify any problems that may develop while they’re still in their early stages.
  • It Keeps Your Pet’s Teeth Healthy- A key part of keeping your pet healthy is taking care of their teeth, as infections in the teeth can spread to the rest of the body. Because of this, our professional pet grooming services include a thorough examination of and cleaning for their teeth, and we can also provide expert advice on how to care for your pet’s teeth at home. Keeping your pet’s teeth healthy will help you avoid emergency trips to the vet, which is sure to make them happier as well.
  • It Helps Your Pet Relax- Just as with humans, stress can have a severe negative impact on your pets’ health. Regular grooming is a great way to bond with your pet and help them feel calm and relaxed, reducing their stress levels and the likelihood of developing health problems from them. Our team at Plaza Veterinary Hospital have over 35 years of experience working with animals, so you can count on us to keep your pet healthy, content, and beautiful.
