What Is Professional Pet Grooming?
Pet grooming goes beyond keeping your pet looking their best—it plays an important role in maintaining skin, coat, ear, and nail health. Regular grooming can help prevent matting, detect skin or ear issues early, and support overall comfort, especially for pets with ongoing medical or mobility concerns.
At Corning Animal Hospital, grooming is performed with an understanding of each pet’s health history. Because grooming takes place in a veterinary setting, our team is able to recognize potential medical concerns and ensure pets receive appropriate care and attention throughout their appointment.
What Our Grooming Services Include
Our grooming appointments are tailored to each pet’s needs and owner preferences. Routine grooming services may include:
- Bath and coat drying
- Haircut or trim based on breed and owner request
- Nail trimming
- Ear cleaning
- Anal sac expression
Our groomer is happy to consult with pet owners to discuss coat styles, maintenance needs, and any special considerations to ensure pets leave comfortable and well-groomed.
