At East Bundaberg Veterinary Hospital, our grooming services are designed to support your pet’s hygiene and everyday comfort. We provide practical grooming options for dogs and cats, with a focus on maintaining clean, manageable coats rather than breed-specific styling or cosmetic grooming.
Practical full-body clipping for small, medium and large breed dogs to help maintain coat hygiene and comfort.
Our hygiene clips include trimming around the feet and between paw pads, the bottom, groin and underarms, as well as carefully tidying hair around the eyes and bridge of the nose. Nail trimming is also included to help maintain your pet’s hygiene and everyday comfort..
Thorough bathing to help remove dirt, debris and excess oils, leaving your dog’s skin and coat clean and refreshed.
Grooming isn’t just about appearance. Regular hygiene-focused grooming can help maintain your pet’s comfort, support healthy skin and coat care, and provide an opportunity to identify potential concerns that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Regular grooming helps maintain long and thick coats and can make them easier to keep clean and comfortable throughout the year.
Hydrobathing provides a thorough clean designed to remove built-up debris and excess oils from your dog's skin and coat.
If our grooming team notices any potential health concerns during your pet's appointment, they'll let you know and recommend a veterinary consultation where appropriate.
Hydrobathing is available for dogs as a standalone service or as part of a grooming appointment.
East Bundaberg Veterinary Hospital uses a surfactant-based shampoo and conditioner rather than detergent shampoos. The hydrobath provides a thorough clean while helping maintain your dog’s skin and coat.
Our hydrobathing service is available Monday to Friday by appointment.
Cats can sometimes require additional assistance to be groomed safely and comfortably, particularly when they are anxious, have a difficult coat or won’t tolerate grooming.
Because our grooming department operates within East Bundaberg Veterinary Hospital, veterinary facilities and staff are available if a cat requires sedation or anaesthesia for grooming.
Whether this is appropriate for your cat will be assessed and discussed with you beforehand.
Yes. We provide hygiene-focused grooming and coat clipping for dogs and cats, with services tailored to their coat condition, comfort and individual needs.
Yes. Dogs can be booked for hydrobathing Monday to Friday by appointment. Hydrobathing is also included when a pet is booked for a full clip.
A hydrobath provides a thorough wash of your dog’s skin and coat. It helps remove accumulated dirt, debris and excess oils while cleaning through the coat.
This depends on your pet’s breed, coat type and how quickly their coat grows. Some pets require grooming considerably more frequently than others. Our team can discuss an appropriate grooming schedule for your individual pet.
A summer clip is generally shorter to help manage a long or thick coat during Bundaberg’s warmer months. A winter clip leaves the coat longer. Our grooming team can discuss an appropriate length for your pet based on their coat and the time of year.
The appropriate timing depends on your puppy’s coat development, breed and environment. The clinic generally recommends considering a first clip once the adult coat begins developing, particularly during warmer weather. Talk to our grooming team if you’re unsure when to start.
Some cats may require sedation or anaesthesia to allow grooming to be carried out safely. As our grooming department is part of the veterinary hospital, we have veterinary staff and facilities available when this is considered necessary. This will be assessed on an individual basis.
Yes. If you’re unsure whether your pet’s nails need trimming, our team can assess them and assist with nail clipping.
