Medical Grooming for Dogs and Cats in Surrey, BC

Severe matting in the coat can cause significant discomfort, restrict movement, trap moisture against the skin, and contribute to skin infections if left unmanaged. Apollo Animal Hospital provides dematting services for pets whose coats have become too matted to be safely managed at home or in a general grooming setting. Our team assesses the severity and location of the mats before proceeding, and in cases where sedation would reduce your pet's stress or allow for more thorough mat removal, we can discuss that option. Dematting services are available for both dogs and cats.

For pets who are highly anxious, reactive, or have a history of injury during nail trimming, a sedated nail trim is a safe and effective solution. Standard nail trims can be stressful for both the pet and the handler when an animal is not tolerant of the process. At Apollo Animal Hospital, sedated nail trims are performed under veterinary supervision with appropriate sedation protocols tailored to your pet's size, age, and health status. This approach ensures a clean, precise trim without the stress associated with restraint in an anxious animal. Sedated nail trims are available for dogs and cats.

A sedated shave may be recommended for pets with severely matted coats that cannot be safely dematted, for animals who are highly reactive to clippers, or for pets requiring close shaving for medical or skin health reasons. The procedure is performed under veterinary supervision using appropriate sedation, allowing our team to complete the shave thoroughly and safely without causing distress. Sedated shave services are available for both dogs and cats. We do not perform general-purpose aesthetic grooming. Our focus is on medically indicated or clinically appropriate shaving services.
