Grooming & Your Pet: How Grooming is Beneficial for Medical Reasons
When you take your pet in for grooming, you might be happy to let an expert deal with the tricky issue of cutting your dog’s nails or handle the bathing of an anxious kitty! While grooming is certainly important in how your pet looks, and maybe more importantly, how your pet smells, it is also a critical aid to veterinary medical care. Regular grooming is a great way to have another set of eyes on your pet and be on the lookout for things that might be awry and have the potential to get worse. Here are a few things that regular grooming can spot that can help keep your pet in good health.
- Ticks and/or Fleas- These tiny little parasites are masters at hiding- especially on animals with black or dark fur. Regular grooming helps ensure that your animals are thoroughly checked and cleaned of these blood-sucking parasites!
- Skin Conditions- While they have fur, animals suffer from skin conditions, too. These conditions can cause discomfort, cause a loss of fur or even become infected. Regular grooming helps prevent skin conditions in breeds with skin folds and allows us to treat skin conditions that are present.
- Allergies- Pets can get allergies, too! If you have a pet that is reacting badly to something, it may show up on their skin or in their fur. Regular grooming helps alert us when something has changed.
- Sensitive Areas- Sometimes your pet may be acting normally, but still suffering from an injury or experiencing pain. During grooming, we can keep an eye for areas that may be sensitive to touch, which can be indicative of a number of different things.
- Infections- During grooming, we clean your pet’s ears, eyes and glands. We can look for signs of good health and can spot issues such as infections. These may need to be treated by your vet.
These are just some of the issues that regular grooming can help address. If you have questions about regular grooming or are ready to set up an appointment, please give us a call today here at Plaza Veterinary Hospital.
At Plaza Veterinary Hospital, we offer pet grooming for patients from Burlington, Graham, Mebane, Glen Raven, Elon, Central Heights, and Haw River, North Carolina.

Dr Scalise was so great when our cat had a mystery illness.. we thought he was bitten by a copperhead and he spent the night at the vet ER, but needed more monitoring the next day. She was very attentive and ran the necessary tests, but did not try to just run everything to charge more because she could. Happy to report that Binx is on the mend from whatever he got into, and happy to take my animals somewhere where they truly care, and don't try to make money off of you, and want the best for your pets!

We adopted a dog from shelter, and he is very reactive to other animals and a bit hyper but they are great with him. We also get him groomed here as well and she does a great job. He can just be hard to deal with and they do an overall great job with him! They are also very responsive and accommodating. I love this place and the people that work here. Thank you all for being so good with Meeko and meeting his needs.

Plaza Veterinary was fantastic with my newly rehomed dog that has been with a Korean family since he was 2 months old. He knows very little english. They were so patient with him. (Also with me) Dr. Thomas treated him and he is doing great. I was so pleased with the staff and Dr. Thomas.

Took in a stray cat a couple months ago (lovingly named Mylo now) and he had his first visit for ear mites on Tuesday after Plaza was referred by the Spay and Neuter clinic last month when I got him neutered and his rabies shot.Dr Scalise was absolutely fantastic and knowledgeable and just so warm and bright! They gave him lovins and talked about what a good cat he is and his calm demeanor. She got him fixed up with some meds and Plaza even called today, a day and a half after his visit, to see how he’s doing! Never had a vet office follow up like that just to ask how he’d been since the visit. Plaza was extraordinary! Definitely look forward to taking him there for many years to come!Thank you to the friendly staff and doctors! It means the world when they treat your pet as if it was their own!💚

Absolutely love this vet. We live over an hour away and make the drive here because they’re so great. They always take care of our dogs and cats.Today our cat was mouth breathing which could be very bad and we were panicked. We called around to two vets close to us and were turned away by both. Plaza was kind enough to squeeze us in and get him checked out. It was nothing too serious but I’m so appreciative of them.My mother also takes her many dogs here and shares my views.

Absolutely amazing. My dog needed emergency surgery and every other vet wouldn’t see us for less than $130 and they did the surgery and everything included for around $1000/$1,500 and the diagnosis fee was put towards the bill. Anywhere else would’ve charged $3,000-$6000. 10/10 recommend. They are the nicest people, the best prices and you can tell it’s not just a job to them! Highly recommended!!

The veterinarian, Dr. Jordan, was kind and efficient! She told me what to do, she gave me all the medications Ozzie needed to get better and she was informative and caring! The Vet Assistants were also kind, professional and courteous! Thank you Plaza Veterinarian Hospital!

I can’t say they did everything they were supposed to( have to assume they did) but the one thing that I could clearly see, was how good of a job they did, trimming my dog’s nails. I had been to pet smart ( may be pet supermarket) anyway, I could never tell her nails were trimmed, so I quit taking her altogether. They kept telling me, you should bring her more, then eventually her nails will be better. Idk what kind of a fool I looked like, but from where I come from, when you do a terrible job, I don’t want to get more of a terrible job, that can get costly. Anyway, I am impressed how good her nails look, she will be a much happier dog.

I was on my way home from Virginia to North Carolina and had an emergency with my dog...I ran in here hysterical and crying...the man behind the desk...I wish I remembered his name...because he was amazing...just immediately jumped up and ran to my car for my dog. Took her inside and started working on her. The Veterinarian was amazing too. Very calm, overly helpful and patient with me. If I lived closer...this would be my vet of choice! Thank you all so very much!!!

We started taking our pets to Plaza after moving to the area two years ago and have always experienced compassionate care. The vet techs are helpful and kind.

After my vet closed down last year I had to search out a vet that offered grooming services for cats. I called around and spoke to the people at Plaza Veterinary Hospital about bringing my long haired cat in for a grooming appointment. They were very accommodating and friendly. I made the appointment and took my cat in. They were finished and called me to pick her up in just a couple of hours unlike previous groomers who kept her there until 4 before I could pick her up. She came back to me in good spirits and looking beautiful.The price of the service was very reasonable and the drop off and pickup went smoothly.From here on out this will be the vet I take all my animals to.

I brought my 10 week old puppy to Plaza and they took him right in, it was an emergency due to a vaccine reaction. Our regular vet had closed and I was panicking. The staff there was phenomenal.

I love Plaza Veterinary Hospital! Both doctors are highly knowledgeable, skilled, and costantly learning new techniques, yet they are also very compassionate, understanding and real. Dr Wicker performed a dental procedure with extractions on my dog and did a beautiful job . The bill was so reasonable and communication is very open. My dog is not easy to deal with, he was a rescue and very needy, scared, and snappy. They love him anyway!

We just had our puppy who is a Coton de Tulear groomed with Melissa and could not be happier with the haircut she gave him. I had been concerned because not a lot of groomers are familiar with Cotons but she did an outstanding job and will definitely recommend her to anyone that wants a good groomer. Thanks again Melissa so happy.
