Medical Grooming for Dogs and Cats in Abbotsford

Medical grooming at Abby Veterinary Hospital and Emergency in Abbotsford provides specialized grooming services for dogs and cats in a safe, clinical environment under veterinary supervision. Unlike general grooming salons, medical grooming at Abby Vet is performed by our veterinary team, with sedation available for pets who are anxious, sensitive, or who require a calm experience for their health and safety. Our medical grooming services are designed for pets who need more than a standard grooming appointment can offer.

Sedated Nail Trim

Nail trims are a routine part of pet care, but for some dogs and cats, the experience is deeply stressful and may make safe trimming difficult or impossible without sedation. Our sedated nail trim service allows pets who are anxious, reactive, or painful to have their nails trimmed safely and comfortably, without the struggle and stress that can accompany a standard nail trim. Sedation is administered under veterinary supervision, and your pet's vital signs are monitored throughout. This service is ideal for pets who have had difficult experiences with nail trims in the past, or those who require a calm and controlled environment for their safety.

Dematting Services

Severely matted coats can cause significant skin irritation, restrict circulation, and provide a hiding place for parasites and skin infections. Our dematting services address heavy and painful matting in dogs and cats in a safe, clinical environment. For pets with mild to moderate matting, our team works carefully to remove mats while minimizing discomfort. For more severe cases, sedation may be recommended to allow for thorough mat removal without distress. We approach every dematting session with your pet's comfort and skin health as the primary priorities.

Sedated Shave

For pets with severe matting, heavily soiled coats, or those who experience significant stress during grooming, a sedated shave provides a safe and thorough solution. Our team shaves the coat under veterinary-supervised sedation, allowing for a complete and stress-free grooming session for dogs and cats who cannot tolerate standard handling. This service is appropriate for pets who have experienced matting buildup over an extended period, or who require significant coat management that cannot be performed without sedation.
