Small Animal Grooming & Bathing

Good morning, I recently took my pet for grooming, however, he was found to have matted fur, that's too close to the skin, was told, he needs medical grooming, does petco do this.

Hello, I rescued a feral cat in December and she has become a pet. I was referred to you by Dr. Foster & Smith. I would like to get my cat groomed, but she has not been around humans. I want to get something to lightly sedate her, so I can take her to get her groomed. She has sooo much hair. She will let me brush her all over, but not her belly. I would like to take her to a groomer to have most of her hair removed, but she needs to be slightly sedated for me to do that. Can you provide me with

At what age can is it safe/recommended to take my pet to the groomers?

Hi, could you tell me how often can I give puppy a bath? And how should I dry him? Is it enough to dry her by towel or I should dry her by hair dryer? I have a miniature poodle.

My pups are inside dogs but they do go outside five days a week for 4-9 hours a day. They usually get a full grooming done at the beginning of the month and a bath at home towards the end of the month. They aren’t dirty dogs but I am noticing that they are scratching a lot and trying to clean themselves. They are also on flea meds. Should I give them a bath maybe 3 times a month?

My dog getting angry when iam trying to bath him. He is biting also. Plz help me.

my dog has fleas. one of your grooming options are for fleas. do i have to take him to a vet first or can i bring him in to be groomed and have the Skin itch solution applied to him during grooming to resolve his issues

at what minimum age can a puppy be bathed? what if it is an emergency?

I’m a relatively new cat owner of a soon to be one year old, so I’ve been doing my research on grooming. Thus far I’ve been routinely clipping her nails and recently I did a brush through with a water less shampoo. I’ve also been implementing dental treats. Is there any other grooming I should be doing or should I do any of these things more often? Google has been unhelpful with all the conflicting opinions! I love my cat and hope you can help her be as comfortable as possible :) Thanks!

My dog has really bad fleas, to the point where I can't groom himself because I know he needs a professional to get them all off. Do you recommend if i take him to a vet to get groomed and fixed p?

Have a spunky new rescue chihuahua mix and she is skittish. So much so she will resist any efforts to trim her nails. We have 4 dogs so I have trimmed nails hundreds of times--but with Ricki Ricardo, no luck. I sit on the floor and flip them over and cradle them between my legs. My wife distracts them with peanut butter on a spoon. Besides going to a groomer or vet, any ideas? I thought maybe a groomer table might help. Are there premium nail cutters of higher quality than store bought?

My dog is a maltese/poodle and about 6 yrs. old. He was a rescue from PetCo. We are not active people being in our 70's and have med. conditions but he sometimes gets a run but usually a mild walk. He has been chewing at his front legs to where they are discolored. At his last grooming his eyes became irritated from the eyebrows being shaved too close and he kept rubbing them so I washed them with a boric acid solution made for humans. They seem better but still have the hard gunk on the edges.
