Cairns Pet Grooming options:
In our tropical climate, many people choose to have their pet clipped short, especially longer coated breeds. We can custom clip your pet, such as leaving head and tail long and short elsewhere. We can also very the length of the clip, and trim other areas to your preferred length. Note that if you neglect clipping your pet until it has a matted, knotty or dirty coat, it may require a very short clip to get under the knots.
Cairns Vet Cat Grooming & Clipping services
Cairns Vet Clinic does a lot of Cat clipping, especially of long coated cats like persians. Because most cats hate being clipped, we sedate all cats for clipping to reduce stress, the time needed to clip your cat and the risk of injury to cat or cat groomer.

How often should I have by cat or dog clipped or groomed?
Different pets need grooming done at different frequencies. Most dogs and cats with very long coats should be brushed daily. Many pet owners prefer instead to have their pet's coat clipped short: eg 1cm long 2-6 times per year to reduce the daily maintainance
Ensure your pet is up to date with essential health care
Cairns Vet Clinic (and other Cairns pet groomers and shelters) require your pet up to date with vaccination to protect your pet. If your pet is overdue we can vaccinate them today.
Only a vet can sedate your pet for grooming
We provide clipping under sedation, which is often essential for cats and nervous dogs. Dog groomers cannot legally sedate animals, so if your pet is stressed by grooming procedures sedation is often the best option. Contact us for more details.
