Dog Grooming Merrimack, NH

A well-groomed pet is more likely to be hugged, and pets live healthier and happier lives when they are touched frequently and have a healthy coat and skin. At Merrimack Veterinary Hospital we have an experienced groomer on staff. Our Groomer is qualified to groom cats and dogs of all breeds to your specifications or to the standard for the breed/type.

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 the patient's responsibility to bring the information to Merrimack Veterinary Hospital. We will not accept dogs or cats for grooming without this documentation. Our fax number is 429-2194.
