Health Requirements

For the safety of your pet and the others in our care, we require your pets to be current with their vaccinations.

  • Please allow time to check in with Client Services at the front desk. We must check your pet’s vaccine status and get a phone number where you can be reached for the duration of your pet’s visit to our Fluff & Buff Shoppe.

  • 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 flea bath and capstar at your expense. Capstar is a daily flea medication that kills adult fleas within 24hrs. 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.

  • Please do not feed your pet prior to dropping him/her off for the day. Please allow time for your pet to relieve him/herself before entering the building.

  • When your pet is groomed, the following services are included in addition to coat care: toe nail trim, ear cleaning, and expressing anal glands.

  • Sedation for grooming is sometimes necessary. We require pre-anesthetic blood work prior to sedation.

  • Appointments are available Monday through Friday from 8am to 1pm. We try to be flexible, so if you have special needs please let us know. If your work schedule is not compatible with our hours, we offer a night before drop-off service.

  • As in human medicine, the anesthetics available for sedation of companion pets are extremely safe. However, in order 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.
  • Although performing these tests cannot guarantee the absence of complications, it can significantly minimize the risk to your pet and provide you and us with peace of mind.
  • When checking the blood work we are testing for Kidney/Liver function, Anemic, Platelet, white blood count, and Glucose.
  • We offer the security of a hospital environment with our professional staff of doctors, licensed veterinary technicians, and veterinary assistants.

Vaccinations must be updated at least 2 weeks prior to your grooming appointment. If you have had your pet vaccinated during the past twelve months at a facility other than Pierson Pet Hospital, please provide proof of vaccines with a veterinary receipt; we can also verify them with a phone call to the veterinarian who administered the vaccines. (If your veterinarian is not in this area, please provide us with a phone number.)
