Grooming
Regular grooming is an essential aspect of your pet’s overall wellness. Pets lead healthier lives when their skin and hair coat are in good condition, and a well-groomed pet is more likely to be hugged and petted—an important component of their emotional wellness.
The recommended frequency and type of grooming service varies widely based on your pet’s breed, age, coat type, and other individual factors. Long-haired dogs should be groomed every 6-8 weeks to avoid matting, and all pets benefit greatly from regular brushing at home to stimulate the skin, distribute oils, and remove dead skin, shed hair, and any external parasites.
Oak Ridge Animal Clinic employs Tracy Campbell, a talented groomer with years of professional experience. She offers full grooming services, shave-downs, and even luxurious spa treatments with special cologne and photo shoots. After your pet’s groom, be sure to ask Tracy to recommend tools and techniques to care for your pet’s coat between services.
Grooming services are in high demand in the hot summer months, and especially during the holiday season, so be sure to schedule early!
