Medical grooming is veterinary-supervised grooming for dogs and cats who need more than a regular salon visit can safely provide. At Ridgeview Animal Hospital in Fraser Heights we offer grooming services that combine skin and coat care with light sedation and clinical oversight, ideal for pets with skin conditions, anxious cats, severely matted coats, or seniors who can no longer tolerate a long grooming session. Families across Fraser Heights, North Surrey, and Guildford come to us when their pet needs a calmer, safer grooming experience.
For dogs and cats with skin conditions, allergic disease, hot spots, or chronic infections, a medicated bath does what a regular wash cannot. We use veterinary-grade shampoos selected for your pet's specific skin and the time needed to let the product work on the skin is built into the visit, not rushed through.
Mats are painful. They pull on a cat's skin with every movement and trap moisture and irritation underneath. We provide dematting for cats with gentle handling and, where the coat is severely matted, light sedation so your cat is comfortable throughout. The result is relief, not stress.
For dogs and cats who cannot tolerate a nail trim, who become aggressive from fear, or who have grown nails into the paw pads, sedated nail trims are the kindest option. Our team uses light, monitored sedation so the procedure is fast, safe, and stress-free, then your pet recovers in a quiet space before going home.
A lion shave is a short, sanitary cut commonly chosen for long-haired cats whose coats have become unmanageable or who are not tolerating brushing. Performed under light sedation, the lion shave resets the coat so daily grooming becomes possible again, and your cat feels lighter and more comfortable.
Medical grooming happens in a veterinary setting with the option of sedation, veterinary oversight, and care for pets whose skin, coat, or behaviour makes standard grooming impractical. Regular grooming at a pet salon works well for healthy pets with routine needs. Medical grooming is the right option when there's a medical or behavioural reason to bring the visit into a clinic.
Sedation is well-tolerated by most healthy pets with appropriate screening and monitoring. Our veterinarian reviews your pet's history, performs an exam, and selects a protocol matched to their size and health before proceeding. We discuss any questions or concerns before anything is started.
