Spooner Veterinary Clinic: 1/2 OFF GROOMING OR OTHER SERVICES

Having your pet groomed is an important part of their overall health. Not only does regular grooming aid in the detection of external parasites like fleas and ticks, it also helps maintain a healthy skin and hair coat. Many cats and dogs are prone to mats. Mats are masses of hair in which dead hair intertwine over, under, around, and through live hair to form thick felted pads. What may have started out as soft tangles, can twist down to the skin and cause significant pain for the pet. Mats are also a good place for infections and skin irritations to occur because they trap moisture and bacteria. Regular grooming can prevent mats and their problems as well as helping with shedding by getting rid of excess hair.
