At Apollo Animal Hospital in Surrey, BC, we understand that grooming is about much more than making your pet look good—it’s about making them feel their best, too. Our pet grooming services are designed with your pet’s health, comfort, and emotional well-being in mind. Whether it’s a routine bath or a specialized sedated grooming session, our goal is to ensure every pet has a safe and stress-free grooming experience.
Led by Dr. Renu Sood, our team of compassionate professionals provides grooming services in a calm, kid-friendly environment, using advanced tools and techniques to meet your pet’s unique needs.
Why Choose Apollo for Pet Grooming?
Our grooming services go beyond the basics. At Apollo Animal Hospital, we provide:
- Sedated grooming for anxious pets
- Specialized lion shave cuts for long-haired cats
- Safe and gentle bathing with pet-friendly products
- Sedated nail trims for pets with grooming anxiety
- A team that treats every pet like family
We know that not all pets enjoy being groomed, and some may even fear it. That’s why we’ve designed our grooming approach to be as gentle and accommodating as possible, offering sedation options when necessary to minimize stress and ensure safety.
Sedated Lion Shave Cuts: Comfort and Style for Long-Haired Cats
Long-haired cats can be prone to painful mats and tangles, especially around the neck, belly, and tail. At Apollo Animal Hospital, our sedated lion shave cuts offer a stylish and practical solution. Performed at our Cloverdale clinic, this procedure involves shaving your cat’s body while leaving the head, feet, and tail tuft intact—mimicking the look of a lion’s mane.
What makes our lion shave cuts unique?
- Comfort-first approach: We perform these shaves under light sedation to keep your cat relaxed.
- Precision and safety: Sedation allows us to groom with accuracy and care, reducing the risk of injury.
- Easier maintenance: A lion shave helps manage shedding and keeps your cat cooler and cleaner.
This service is ideal for cats who resist brushing or have trouble keeping their long coats tangle-free.
Sedated Nail Trims: A Gentle Approach for Sensitive Pets
Nail trims are essential for your pet’s mobility and joint health, but they can be challenging—especially if your pet is nervous or has had a bad experience in the past. That’s where our sedated nail trimming comes in.
Offered at our Cloverdale location, sedated trims are:
- Stress-free and efficient
- Ideal for pets with anxiety or behavioral issues
- Safe and handled by trained veterinary professionals
By minimizing stress and movement, sedation allows us to trim your pet’s nails quickly and safely, reducing the chances of over-trimming or causing discomfort.
More Than Just a Bath: The Benefits of Regular Grooming
Bathing your pet may seem simple, but when done right, it provides real health benefits. Our grooming baths are done using gentle, pet-safe products that are specifically formulated for your animal’s coat and skin type.
Benefits of regular grooming baths include:
- Removal of dirt, allergens, and loose fur
- Prevention of skin infections and irritations
- Less shedding and cleaner home environment
- A fresh-smelling, happier pet!
Whether your pet needs a quick rinse or a full grooming session, we ensure they leave feeling refreshed and clean.
The Health Connection: How Grooming Supports Overall Wellness
Grooming isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a vital part of your pet’s healthcare. Poor coat maintenance can lead to:
- Matted fur that traps moisture and causes skin infections
- Overgrown nails that affect posture and cause joint pain
- Missed signs of skin tumors, parasites, or wounds
By choosing professional pet grooming services at Apollo Animal Hospital, you’re taking a proactive step toward preventing these issues. Our grooming sessions often serve as an opportunity to spot early signs of skin or coat problems before they become serious.
Personalized Care for Every Pet
No two pets are alike, which is why we provide tailored grooming plans based on breed, coat type, temperament, and health history. Our veterinary team is always available to answer your questions and guide you on grooming schedules, home care tips, and anything else you need to keep your pet feeling great.
From puppies having their first bath to senior cats needing a gentle lion shave, we welcome pets of all ages and conditions.
