Medical grooming differs from standard grooming in that it is performed by a veterinary team with the clinical knowledge to address underlying skin and coat conditions, safely manage anxious or uncooperative pets, and use sedation when appropriate for your pet's comfort and safety. Campbell Heights Animal Hospital provides medical grooming services for dogs and cats near Langley, ensuring that every grooming service is supported by proper veterinary oversight.
Medicated baths are used to manage flea and tick infestations, skin infections, allergic skin conditions, and other dermatological concerns for dogs and cats. We use clinically appropriate shampoos and rinses selected for your pet's specific condition and skin type. Our veterinary team assesses skin health before and after medicated bathing to ensure the approach is effective and that we are monitoring for any skin changes during the process.
Matting in the coat causes discomfort, restricts skin circulation, and can hide skin lesions, wounds, or parasites. Our dematting services address mild to moderate matting through careful manual and tool-assisted techniques designed to minimize skin pulling and discomfort. For pets with severe or full-body matting, a sedated shave may be recommended to relieve the coat more safely and humanely.
When the coat is severely matted, extensively overgrown, or when the pet is too anxious or painful to be safely managed without sedation, a sedated shave provides a safe and stress-free solution for dogs and cats. Sedation is performed by our veterinary team with careful pre-assessment and monitoring throughout the procedure. The goal is to relieve your pet from the discomfort of their coat condition while ensuring the entire experience is as calm as possible.
For dogs and cats that become severely stressed, resistant, or reactive during nail trims, a sedated nail trim allows the procedure to be completed safely and comfortably for both your pet and our team. Sedation is assessed on a case-by-case basis and is only recommended when non-sedated approaches are not appropriate for your pet's wellbeing. Overgrown nails can cause pain and postural problems, so keeping nails at an appropriate length is genuinely important to your pet's comfort.
