Our Sanitary Shave service trims fur around sensitive areas (e.g., genital or anal regions) to facilitate hygiene, reduce infections, or aid in medical treatments. This is particularly useful for pets with skin conditions, mobility limitations, or those requiring frequent monitoring of these areas.

We provide Nail Trimming & Dremeling to maintain your pet’s paw health, prevent overgrowth, or address broken nails. Our team uses careful techniques to avoid injury and can recommend tools or training for at-home maintenance. Regular nail care is essential for comfort and mobility.

We perform Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort or infections caused by impacted anal glands, a common issue in dogs. This quick procedure is often recommended during wellness exams or if your pet shows signs of scooting, licking, or straining. We’ll guide you on prevention and when to seek expression.
