Grooming

Concord Animal Hospital offers gentle & expert grooming for your pet! Your dog doesn't have to be CAH patient to come to us for grooming. Cat grooming appointments are limited, so are reserved for CAH patients only.

Our groomers, Cindy Reilly & Charlene McLaughlin, professional groomers each with over 25 years of grooming experience, will making your pet look amazing!
Dogs:
Both groomers will work with your dog, particularly elderly and nervous dogs, to make their grooming experience a positive one. Both happily put in the time to gain your dog’s trust and work hard to minimize any fear or anxiety they may feel about being groomed. Plus the will make your pooch look amazing!
Cats:
Charlene also grooms cats! Cats will be groomed on Mondays, a day when we don’t offer dog grooming. This will give cats a quiet, dog-free space. 
Cats in for grooming will be brushed & combed. Mats will be removed with a brush or clipper and kitties will be given a bath and blow dry. While we know that owners would often prefer an all-over trim, leaving the hair long, cats don’t tolerate that. Instead, long-haired cats can be clipped down or given a lion cut.
Charlene will also trim your cat’s nails and clean their ears while they are in for grooming. 
Because cat grooming appointments are limited, we only offer cat grooming to feline patients of the animal hospital.
