All medical grooming appointments are conducted in our clinic with continuous monitoring and care before, during, and after the procedure. Call (303) 779-1170 to discuss which services are right for your pet.

Medicated Bath for Dogs and Cats

Medicated baths are used to manage specific dermatological concerns, most commonly flea and tick infestations in dogs and cats. A medicated bath uses veterinary-formulated products to address the underlying skin condition while soothing the affected areas. Our default medicated bath protocol is designed to address flea and tick concerns for both dogs and cats. If your pet has a different skin condition requiring a specific product protocol, our veterinarian will discuss the appropriate approach during the appointment. Medicated baths are available for dogs and cats and are performed with gentle, low-stress handling throughout.

Dematting Services for Dogs and Cats

Severe matting is painful and can trap moisture and debris against the skin, creating conditions for infection and discomfort. Dematting at Cherry Knolls Veterinary Clinic is performed by our veterinary team, using appropriate tools and, when necessary, sedation to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort throughout the procedure. All pets are assessed individually before dematting begins, and we will advise on whether sedation is appropriate for your specific pet. Dematting is available for both dogs and cats. Your pet goes home with guidance on brushing routines and coat maintenance to prevent future mat development.

Sedated Nail Trim

Some pets find nail trims extremely stressful, or have a history of significant resistance that makes the procedure unsafe without sedation. A sedated nail trim at Cherry Knolls Veterinary Clinic allows the procedure to be completed safely and without distress. Light sedation is administered under veterinary supervision, and your pet is monitored throughout. The nail trim is completed while your pet is relaxed, and they are monitored in recovery until fully awake and comfortable before going home. Sedated nail trims are available for both dogs and cats.

Sedated Shave for Dogs and Cats

A sedated shave is appropriate when a pet has an extensively matted coat that cannot be safely or humanely dematted while awake, or when the pet’s anxiety level makes coat management impossible without veterinary sedation. At Cherry Knolls Veterinary Clinic, sedated shave procedures are performed under veterinary supervision with continuous monitoring. The procedure is available for both dogs and cats. We do not apply specific style terminology to this procedure. The goal is to remove matted or overgrown coat safely, improving your pet’s comfort. Follow-up grooming guidance is provided before discharge.
