• All grooming guests need to have had a veterinary exam within the year.  All dogs must have an annual bordetella vaccine while all dogs and cats must be current with their rabies and distemper vaccinations.  All cats must have an annual leukemia test and both cats and dogs must be free of internal and external parasites.  This assures protection for your pet and others.  If your pet receives medical services elsewhere, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to bring the information to MVH.  We will not accept dogs or cats for grooming without this documentation.  Our fax number is 429-2194.

• You may bring your pet in as early as 7:30AM and pick your pet up by 5:30pm. Saturday grooming hours are 8:00-12:00PM.
• Because we are a full-service animal hospital there is always a veterinary professional available in the event that your pet needs medical attention.
• Pets who are aggressive or anxious about grooming can be examined and sedated by the veterinary staff (with your permission) prior to being groomed.
• Groomers spend a lot of time with your pet. They are often the ones who identify skin problems, lumps or other conditions that should be brought to the attention of the veterinary staff.
• Medicated baths, flea shampoos, and skunk baths are available.
• Nail trimming is done as part of grooming services.
• Animals who are boarding with us can be groomed before they go home, but it must be scheduled in advance.
• Holidays are a great time to have pets groomed, so that they can get in the spirit of the season too.  Pets receive a "goodie bag" at holiday time.
• Pets are dried in crates so that the air from the dryer can reach them quickly. Runs are available for larger dogs after they are dry.
• Grooming prices are available upon request. They are based on the amount of time and skill it takes to get your pet looking “spiffy”. Payment is due at the time of pick up. We accept cash, credit/debit cards and personal checks.

Grooming Introduction for Puppies

Your puppy's first groom is one of the defining moments in its life; especially in breeds who need to be groomed regularly.  It is so important that his first groom be a positive experience.  This package's only purpose is to familiarize your puppy with grooming and to make it the best experience it can be.  This package is for puppies under 6 months of age and includes:

• Grooming consultation where we will talk about your puppy's grooming needs during and in-between grooming appointments.  If you need a lesson learning the proper brushing techniques for your particular breed or what tools to use, we will discuss that as well. 

•  Bath and conditioning with the proper products.

• Familiarizing your puppy slowly to the fluff drying process.  This can be a little scary at first for some puppies so it is important to do it correctly.

• Nail trimming, sanitary clip, ear cleaning, and ear plucking.

• Complete brush out.

• Light trimming, allowing the puppy to get used to the noise of the clippers while trimming up feet, face, rear end, but not a full body groom.

• Lots of love, cuddles, positive reinforcement, play and cookies.

The price for the puppy package is $25 for small breeds and $30 for larger breeds.
