Cat and Dog Grooming in North Richland Hills
Regular grooming is essential not only for your pet’s appearance but also for their overall health. Grooming helps reveal issues related to your pet’s hair, skin, paws, ears, eyes, and nails that owners might otherwise overlook.
Request an AppointmentAt Cornerstone Animal Hospital, our experienced professional groomer offers a full range of grooming services for dogs and cats, including regular baths, medicated shampoo baths, breed-specific grooming and trims, shave-downs, de-shedding, and brush-outs. We ensure your pet looks and feels their best every visit. If you have special grooming requests, our groomer is happy to accommodate your preferences.
Our grooming salon provides personalized care to keep your pets healthy, clean, and smelling great. Feel free to contact our staff to discuss your pet’s needs, and we’ll tailor the services in consultation with the groomer. Fleas, ticks, and other external parasites are frequently detected during grooming, so timely visits also support the work our team does through parasite control and heartworm care.
The grooming salon at Cornerstone Animal Hospital is staffed by a certified and compassionate pet stylist. Our stylists treat dogs and cats gently and with care, ensuring your pet looks and feels wonderful after every appointment.
Our pet stylists are available every day except Thursdays and Sundays to meet your pet’s grooming and bathing needs. For appointment details, scheduling, and grooming options, please call us at (817) 514-8387. If your pet is boarding with us and needs grooming before going home, kindly inform us in advance when scheduling pet boarding.
Bathing
Regular baths keep your pet’s skin and coat clean, prevent odors, and promote a healthy, shiny coat. Pets with skin issues may benefit from medicated or specialty shampoo baths and conditioners. If your pet has ongoing skin concerns, our pet dermatology team can help identify the underlying cause.
Oral Hygiene
Regular teeth brushing slows plaque buildup, maintains healthy gums, and reduces bad breath. While brushing at home can be challenging, our grooming staff can efficiently perform this during grooming or bathing. For a thorough oral health exam or dental diagnostics, please schedule a visit with our veterinarian through our dental services page.
