Pet Bathing & Grooming in Oakwood
Regular, professional grooming in a veterinary-supervised setting keeps skin healthy, coats comfortable, and pets looking their best. At Oakwood Animal Hospital, we use stress-reducing techniques, gentle handling, and clean, well-ventilated grooming spaces to create a calm experience for every pet.
Our shampoos, conditioners, and tools are selected to match breed, coat type, and lifestyle, supporting skin balance and shine. Scheduling is easy, with options for quick baths, full grooms, and spa-style add-ons to fit your routine.
Why Choose Oakwood Animal Hospital for Grooming
We prioritize gentle, low-stress handling with veterinary oversight for pets who have medical needs or sensitivities. Our hospital-grade sanitation, premium coat products, and well-maintained tools help protect skin health and deliver consistent results. After each visit, you’ll receive clear communication and custom notes on coat/skin findings so you know exactly how your pet did and what we recommend next.
We realize that pet care, and chiropractic care especially, is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Our vets practice a personalized approach to ensure each pet receives the best possible care. Each animal’s unique anatomy, condition, and health history plays a key role in what types of treatment our team recommends and performs.
Benefits of Professional Grooming
Routine grooming reduces mats, shedding, odor, and allergens while supporting healthy skin and a comfortable coat. During appointments, our team can spot early signs of concern like lumps, parasites, ear/skin infections, or mobility pain points. Seniors and pets with special needs benefit from improved hygiene, trimmed nails for safer footing, and tailored care that keeps them comfortable and can improve mobility.

Safety & Requirements
For everyone’s safety, pets should be up to date with current vaccinations. We perform a brief behavior and health screening at check-in and follow humane handling policies to prevent stress or injury. In cases of severe matting, shorter clips may be required to protect the skin and restore comfort.
What to Bring & How to Prepare
Please bring current vaccine records (or have your vet email them), photos of preferred styles, and any medical notes. Arrive with pets leashed or in carriers, allow a potty break before check-in, and tell us about any skin sensitivities or product allergies.
