Keeping Your Pet Well Groomed and Clean

posted: May 13, 2020.

Well Groomed and Clean Pets

Owning a pet comes with loads of joy but it also comes with a lot of responsibility. Your pet needs plenty of love, healthy food, regular veterinary care, and pet grooming. You may think of pet grooming as just something cosmetic but it is so much more than that. It is part of the overall pet care for most dogs. At All Friends Veterinary Hospital in East Islip NY, we provide complete pet care. Our veterinarian will diagnose any medical conditions that your dog may be suffering from when he or she comes in for regularly scheduled grooming.

The Conditions Groomers Look For

Your dog comes home from grooming looking good and smelling even better. While that is important, there is a lot more to sending your pet to a groomer than that, especially when the groomer is part of a practice with a veterinarian on staff. Matting is a serious issue with some breeds of dogs. The hair can get so tight that it cuts off blood circulation and in extreme cases, this can lead to amputation. Thick unkempt hair can also hide skin conditions and infestation by fleas and ticks.

Head to Toe Care

Many pets are prone to ear infections and problems with pests like ear mites. A good groomer will check your pet's ears and make sure they are in good condition. Oral care is important for good overall pet health. Pet nail care is also important. Some people try to take care of this at home which can lead to some serious problems developing. Pet nail care is best left to the professionals.

At All Friends Veterinary Hospital in East Islip NY, we offer complete care for your pets. Our veterinarian can deal with any issue that is uncovered by our groomer and make sure that your pet is as healthy and happy as possible. Give us a call today at (631) 277-8700 to set up an appointment.

Testimonial

  • "I can not say enough about these wonderful people. Dr. Reda is the most compassionate veterinarian I have ever met. My beloved dog passed from cancer, but they were there every step of the way with any questions or concerns, even when they were oh vacation and I was totally distraught about it, they made sure to address my concerns and never made me feel like I was crazy. There should be more people like Dr. Reda and his staff in this business. I am forever grateful for all of you."

  • "I had such a good experience when I brought in a feral cat family during a TNR mission that I returned a month later when I adopted two of the kittens. Dr. Reda is simply a wonderful veterinarian. I appreciate his well-informed, holistic approach to treatment. He & his staff take the time to give me plenty of information and answer all my questions, while doing everything they can to minimize any distress and discomfort my cats experienced during the visit. In short, if you are looking for a vet that is highly knowledgeable, accessible, and compassionate, I cannot recommend All Friends highly enough."
