A grooming session at Lotus Veterinary Hospital leaves your pet looking and feeling great!
Our groomer is trained with years of experience. Professional grooming offers many benefits such as keeping your pet's coat, skin and ears in good condition, increased comfort, social acceptability, and eliminating pet odor. Frequent and regular grooming makes your pet feel better too, and has definite health benefits in cases like allergy and sensitive skin problems. A day with our professional groomer might just be what your precious pooch needs! We provide grooming services for all breeds of dogs and cats. We provide basic bath and brushing that includes bathing with pet formulated shampoo, hair trims, toe nail trims, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression. We also offer a custom design cut to your specifications, including body shaves and lion cuts. We also offer flea baths and tick dips when needed.
If your pet has a medical concern, why not combine the visit and schedule your pet's grooming appointments around its doctor examination?
Grooming services are offered during regular hospital hours. Please call the Lotus Veterinary Hospital to schedule a grooming appointment for your pet.
Grooming policies:
Grooming services are available by appointment. Please call ahead to schedule an appointment. Grooming charges are based on the size of your dog, its breed, current coat condition, degree of matting, and specialized grooming needs unique to your pet.
Drop off and pick up times
Grooming pets should be dropped off on the day of their appointment depending on their scheduled grooming time. The groomer will meet with you to discuss any special needs you may have. You should plan to pick up your pet after 3:00 pm, but before the closing time at the end of the day.
Medical and vaccination requirements
For your pet's safety and the safety of our other guests, we require that all grooming pets be up to date on their vaccinations and free from internal and external parasites at the time of grooming. If the Lotus Veterinary Hospital has not provided these services, you will need to provide proof that your pet is up to date on the following:
Dogs Requirements:
Rabies
DHLPP
Bordetella (kennel cough)
Free from external parasites or on flea prevention
Cats Requirements:
Rabies
FVRCP
Free from external parasites or on flea prevention
We reserve the right to refuse grooming to any pet that does not meet these requirements.
Payment Policy
Payment in full is due at the time of the pick-up. We encourage you to ask for an estimate of the grooming services so that you are prepared when you arrive for pick up. We accept cash, checks with valid ID or driver's license, and credit cards (Master Card and Visa).
Our Sedation Policy
Most of our grooming cats are sedated to prevent injury to the cat from excessive movement or to calm aggressive cats. However, we will not sedate without your permission. Sedated patients are monitored by the vets.
The following is a partial list of the services we can perform during a home visit. After an exam, our doctors present our clients with the most appropriate and cost effective options.
Wellness Exams
Your trip to the veterinarian is almost as educational for you as it is checking out your pet. Besides your many questions and concerns that you may bring with you to the exam room, please bring any relevant health information you have, such as records of vaccinations and worming. While answering your questions, your veterinarian will likely do the following:
The Lotus Veterinary Hospital advises that all animals undergo an annual health check. This is often carried out at the time of the annual vaccination, although even species such as guinea pigs who don’t need vaccinations still need to have check-ups to enable early detection of diseases.
During the annual health check, our vets will examine:
We also ask our clients to bring a urine sample from their pet. We check this for indications of early kidney problems, diabetes, and other conditions such as Cushing’s Syndrome.
We advise that elderly animals are examined at least twice a year as problems can often develop quickly at this stage of life. If problems are detected, further investigation will be discussed and any further appointments will be made as required.
We feel that early detection is vital to prevent unnecessary pain and distress. Often early treatment also enables the progression of a disease to be slowed down, ensuring a better quality of life.
