The Best-Looking Pets in Brandon and Valrico, FL!
Look Good, Feel Good
Did you know that pets feel their best when they look their best? It’s true! Pet grooming isn’t all about aesthetics. In fact, grooming plays an important role in preventive health.
When your pet comes in for their grooming appointment, they’ll experience much more than a simple bath or hair cut. The enriching process of pet grooming offers the following benefits to a pet’s overall health:
- The removal of dead skin cells, mats, tangles, or loose hairs improves circulation.
- Spotting external parasites, like fleas or ticks, can lead to prompt removal and immediate treatment of associated issues.
- Checking the existence/location of lumps/bumps, wounds, or infections can result in quick diagnosis.
- Washing and brushing spreads the skin’s healthy oils throughout the coat for a lustrous shine.
- A close look at the overall appearance of the ears, eyes, nose, teeth, and gums can lead to supportive treatments. Cleaning of these physical features can reduce many problems affecting a pet, such as ear mites, dental disease, or eye infections.
- It’s fun! Pets often bond with their groomer and show lots of affection during and after the experience.
Obviously, there’s a bonus to having your pet groomed at the same place they receive veterinary care. If your groomer happens to see something during their session, like a parasite-related problem or a large lump, they’ll be able to inform your pet’s vet of the discovery. Your pet’s groomer plays a critical role on your pet’s path to health.
