comprehensive Pet grooming in Diamond Beach
maintaining pet health & appearance
Pet grooming is an important part of maintaining a pet’s health, comfort and appearance.
Regular grooming is particularly important for long-haired breeds or pets prone to skin sensitivities, as it helps prevent matting, reduce shedding and keep their coat clean and free from dirt and parasites.
At Barrington Coast Vets, we are not professional groomers. However, we offer sedated hygiene and medical grooms for pets that require extra care.
These services are designed for:
- Pets that cannot be groomed safely without sedation
- Older animals who are not accepted by local groomers and need monitoring during the grooming process
Sedated medical grooms can be arranged:
- After a direct referral from your local groomer
- Following a veterinary consultation, to ensure the correct approach is taken for your pet’s safety and wellbeing
We are also happy to point you in the direction of local groomers for pets who can be safely groomed without sedation.
Important Information:
- These grooms focus on medical hygiene
- All sedated grooms are done at a single length where required
- We are unable to offer custom or designer clips
These services are also available for pets who simply need to be made comfortable for medical reasons. For information about local groomers in the area, please enquire at the clinic.
regular ear cleaning
Regular ear cleaning is important for pets, as it helps prevent infections and keeps their ears healthy and comfortable.
Pets, especially those with floppy or hairy ears, are more prone to ear issues caused by trapped moisture, wax buildup and dirt. Routine cleaning removes debris and helps prevent bacterial or yeast infections that can cause discomfort, itching or bad odour. However, it’s important to use pet-safe ear cleaning solutions and avoid inserting anything deep into the ear canal.
For pets with ongoing ear issues, regular checks by a veterinarian can help address any concerns and ensure proper ear care.
healthy nail clipping
Pet nail clipping is an important part of regular grooming that helps maintain your pet’s comfort and health.
Overgrown nails can lead to discomfort when walking, cause nails to split or break and, in severe cases, impact the alignment of a pet’s joints. Regular nail trims help prevent these issues, keeping your pet’s paws in good condition.
Many pets are sensitive about their paws, so using proper techniques and pet-friendly clippers can make the process easier and less stressful. For pets uncomfortable with nail trimming, professional grooming or veterinary assistance can provide safe, stress-free care to maintain healthy nail length.
proper Wound dressing
Proper wound dressing is integral for supporting a pet’s healing process and helping to reduce the risk of infection.
When a pet sustains a cut, scrape or bite, gently clean the wound with a pet-safe antiseptic. Applying a sterile dressing can help protect it from dirt and bacteria. It’s essential to monitor the wound daily, checking for signs of redness, swelling or discharge, which may indicate infection.
Avoid using human wound care products, as some ingredients can be harmful to pets. For deeper wounds or if healing doesn’t progress, seeking veterinary assistance can ensure the wound is properly managed and cared for.
Local pet groomers
Regular grooming sessions, especially for pets with long or thick coats, help prevent matting, reduce shedding and support skin health by removing dirt and excess oils. Many groomers also offer additional services like nail trimming, ear cleaning and specialised treatments for pets with sensitive skin.
Local groomers often build strong relationships with pets, creating a calm, friendly environment where animals feel safe.
For pet owners, choosing a groomer nearby adds convenience and can provide peace of mind, knowing their pets are well cared for.
