We have on staff, some of the area's most talented groomers to assist you in maintaining that very special appearance of your pet. They have many years of experience in their field. Everyone on the grooming staff will handle your per with care and gentleness.

Included in the regular grooming, your pet is bathed, hand-dried, nails clipped, ears cleaned, and is given a personalized cut according to your choice and description. We can also provide flea baths, as well as medicated or conditioning baths for problem coat and skin. Some breeds require frequent brushing between visits. Our grooming staff is happy to discuss the proper grooming tools and techniques with you.

Each time you pick up your pet, we suggest that you schedule your next grooming appointment. This will ensure that you receive preferential scheduling. Please give us 24 hour notice if you need to change or cancel your appointment.

The Pet Spa The Pet Spa is a new, gentle, invigorating way to cleanse your pet. It is deep-cleaning, and many pets find it very soothing. Most pets can now be bathed without an appointment. It's perfect for a quick pet cleanup after beach trips, or any time your pet needs a freshening up. And it's safe, for pets (and kids!). Find out more

Shed Less is a carefully designed and tested treatment program for pets that have a shedding problem. Within one to two amazing treatments, your pet's coat will be relieved of 60% to 80% of "dead" and unwanted shedding hair while between regular grooming visits! As you already know, the elimination of this unwanted hair is not only time consuming for the pet parent, but also VERY messy and, when done professionally, can be expensive. The Shed Less Treatment is very affordable.

Just what does this extra treatment consist of? In the Harmony Grooming Salon, we use a "steady stream or needle spray" power attachment to wash and separate your pet's coat hair. Circulation, stimulation and basic massage techniques are then used with a special rubber mitt while applying an ALL NATURAL shampoo. This special shampoo on your pet's coat and skin is left on your pet and timed. Thorough rinsing and conditioning are next. At this point, a high velocity hair dryer is used to separate and eliminate excess coat inch by inch. The last step in our process is brushing, combing and the final unique Shed Less carding technique applied to your pet's coat using special grooming industry tools. Conditioner and/or cologne, if you choose for your pet to have it, finish this very special treatment. Your pet will look and feel better and will love this extra attention.

There are a few additional things to know and remember after your pet has had a Shed Less Treatment. FIRST, your pet's hair follicles will be disturbed up to 24 hours after Shed Less, and you may notice some shedding. SECOND, when a pet is excited to see his or her owner, natural "stress shedding" can occur. Therefore, after the first 24 hours, your pet's coat will "settle down" and show a remarkable Shed Less appearance... along with your home!

Call and ask our groomers to schedule your pet's Shed Less Treatment.

Good for Your Pet's Health
Regular grooming is essential to your pet's good health. It should start in puppy or kittenhood so your pet learns to accept and even enjoy it. Grooming involves coat brushing and care, but at Harmony Animal Hospital's Distinctive Pet Grooming it also includes attention to ears, eyes, teeth, mouth and feet. We can also provide special medicated baths as well as flea baths and dips. The benefits of proper grooming include:

• Fewer skin, eye and ear problems • More Effective external parasite control • Fewer shedding problems • Fewer unsightly, malodorous mats • Earlier detection of potential health problems (parasites, lumps, ear and eye infections, dental disease, weight loss or gain, and abnormal coat conditions) • Acclimation to handling

We recommend getting your puppy used to grooming at an early age. To do this, stand him on a table for short periods of time while gently and calmly brushing him. Talk to him, praise him and reward him for standing quietly. Always make it fun. Distractions and rewards work better than reprimands. Do it often and increase the length of time gradually until he's standing quietly for his brushing.

We're happy to help you learn the proper methods of coat care and the tools that will make the job easier. Sign up for our Dog Grooming Seminar held on a regular basis. Call 561-746-5501 and ask for the Grooming Salon for more information.
