Medical Grooming Services
Medical grooming services at Cypress St. Animal Hospital are designed for pets that require veterinary supervision during grooming procedures. Some dogs and cats experience extreme stress, aggression, or pain during standard grooming, making a clinical setting the safest option. Our Kitsilano team provides medicated baths, dematting, sedated nail trims, and sedated lion shaves under controlled conditions.
Medicated Bath Services for Dogs and Cats
Medicated flea and tick baths use veterinary-grade shampoos and topical solutions formulated to eliminate fleas and ticks on dogs and cats. The bath is performed under veterinary supervision to ensure complete coverage and safe application. Our team confirms your pet is comfortable throughout the process and provides guidance on prevention products to reduce reinfestation.
Dematting Services
Dematting dogs and cats requires patience, skill, and often veterinary sedation to ensure safety and comfort. Severely matted fur can trap moisture against the skin, leading to irritation, infection, and restricted movement. Our team carefully removes mats using professional tools while monitoring your pet throughout the process.
Sedated Nail Trim for Anxious Pets
Sedated nail trims are available for pets that cannot tolerate standard nail trimming due to anxiety, aggression, or pain. Light sedation allows our team to trim nails safely and completely without causing undue stress. Vital signs are monitored throughout.
Sedated Shave
A sedated shave involves clipping a dog or cat's body fur short to address severe matting, chronic skin concerns, or excessive coat buildup that cannot be managed through standard grooming. The procedure is performed under light sedation with full monitoring to ensure your pet is comfortable and safe throughout.
