Fur’st Choice Pet Care offers therapeutic spa treatment to your pets in the comfort of your own home (see note). Grooming services can be added to any sitting service for your well-behaved pets, or performed separately with a $15 travel fee to clients within our service area, $25 travel fee to clients outside of our service area. We use high quality, hypoallergenic products and low stress practices to ensure the health, safety, and wellness for your pets.
***NOTE*** We don’t not have a mobile grooming truck, so all services including baths are completed inside the client’s home, on the back porch, yard, or garage. After a bath inside the client’s home we do clean the bathtub and space used to the best of our ability.
Conditions apply: The goal of all of our services is to provide a stress-free, beneficial experience for your animal companions. Sometimes pets just aren’t receptive to the services we want to provide, and we will always respect their wishes. Sometimes they just want their mom or dad nearby for reassurance, and in these instances we will reschedule services for when you are available to provide such a support system. At this time Fur’st Choice Pet Care employs two Technicians, one presently works at an animal hospital; so sometimes we may need the assistance of mom and dad if applicable if we don’t have assistance from our team member.
Anal Gland Expression $10
Anal glands will be palpated and manually expressed if found to be full. Whenever possible, internal expression of the glands will be performed for completeness of gland evacuation. The rectal area will then be gently cleaned with a hypoallergenic solution. Expression of anal glands is not required for all pets, and will only be preformed if your pet is showing signs of discomfort or if your veterinarian recommends this procedure be completed on a regular basis. Assistance is required and is available to well-behaved dogs and cats.
Ear Cleaning $10
Ears are thoroughly flushed with an otic cleansing solution, wax and debris are wiped from the ears, and they are gently dried. If necessary, excessive ear hair can be gently plucked and assistance may be required.
This service is available for well behaved dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and some pocket pets.
* We use an over-the-counter, self-drying solution for ear cleaning. If your veterinarian has prescribed a medicated flush for your pet’s ears, we will use that instead.
Nail Trim $10
Nail Dremel/Filing $10
All nails are trimmed to a safe and appropriate length, and then gently filed for a non-abrasive finish.
This service is available for well-behaved dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, most rodents, pocket pets, exotics, birds, and some reptiles. If supplied, Soft Paws Nail Caps or similar can be applied to dogs and cats for an additional $10.
*Restrictions apply. Some birds and reptiles will only receive a nail filing. Cats and animals with brittle nails will only receive nail trimming. Assistance may be required.
Sanitary Clip $20
Matted or soiled fur will be removed with an electric hair clipper. Fur around the rectum and genitals will be shortened and hair under the paws will be clipped. Since the health and safety of your pet is our #1 priority, we will stop the session if your pet becomes too stressed and finish the following day. Assistance may be required.
This service is available for well-behaved dogs, cats, rabbits, and some pocket pets.
Bath and Brush $15 – $35
Pets will receive a massaging rinse in your home with a hypoallergenic shampoo. After being towel-dried, pets will be gently brushed and combed.
