Health Requirements

For the safety of your pet and the others in our care, we require your pets to be current with their vaccinations. Vaccinations must be updated at least 2 weeks prior to your grooming appointment. If you have had your pet vaccinated at a facility other than Pierson Pet Hospital, please provide proof of vaccines or we can also verify them with a phone call to the veterinarian.

If your pet needs to see the doctor while your pet is here for grooming, we will need to make a separate appointment prior to the grooming date in order to properly complete the physical exam and help build and maintain the client, patient, doctor relationship.

  • Dogs need to be current on vaccinations for Canine Distemper/Parvo/Lepto, Rabies, Bordetella. If your pet needs to be sedated we require a current Heartworm test within the last year.

  • Cats need to be current on vaccinations for Feline Distemper and Rabies.

  • A Word About Fleas: If your pet is found to have fleas when presented for grooming, he or she will be given a Capstar at your expense. Capstar is a daily flea medication that kills fleas within 30 min and up to 24 hours. This is necessary to prevent the spread of fleas to other pets in our facility. We also have products available that kill fleas and ticks for 4 weeks, please ask front desk for more information.

  • Safety is our biggest concern. Safety for your pet and safety for our staff. If your pet is anxious/aggressive we will first, try nonchemical methods to calm and complete the grooming. We do not want to force the situation however, as this can cause more anxiety and escalate the situation. If our professional groomer believes the situation is causing too much stress to your pet or is a danger to our groomer, then we will not complete the groom that day. We will reschedule and send your pet home with oral medications.
  • If this is not enough to calm your pet, then we will need to use injectable sedation and/or anesthesia to complete the process. If this is needed, the procedure would need to be set up as a “surgical procedure’ in the morning on a surgery day and will require pre-anesthetic bloodwork.
  • As in human medicine, the anesthetics available for sedation of companion pets are extremely safe. However, to minimize the potential risk associated with sedation, it is vital for us to know the complete health status of your pet before placing him or her under anesthesia. An examination and pre-anesthetic blood work are required for all pets undergoing sedation or anesthesia.

Appointments

Are available Monday through Friday starting at 8am. Appointments will be set up throughout the day, to assure you that your pet doesn’t stay at our facility longer than necessary. If your pet will need to stay all day due to your work schedule, please make sure to communicate this at the time of scheduling.

  • Please allow time to check-in at the front desk and to speak to groomer before dropping your pet off. We want to confirm what type of treatment is needed and how you would like your pet groomed.
