Dematting for cats at Alma Animal Hospital is performed with patience and gentle handling to ease discomfort caused by tangled or matted fur. Our team approaches each cat with calm reassurance, helping them feel safe throughout the process. We work carefully to restore comfort to their coat while guiding you on ways to support healthier grooming habits at home.
For cats who require extensive coat care or lion-style shaving, Alma Animal Hospital offers gentle sedation to ensure a stress-free experience. This approach keeps your pet relaxed while we carefully manage thick mats or areas needing close trimming. Our team communicates each step clearly and helps you understand aftercare needs so your cat returns home feeling more comfortable and calm.
Some pets feel anxious during nail care, and sedation can provide a safer, calmer experience. At Alma Animal Hospital, our sedated nail trims allow pets to relax while we trim their nails with care and precision. We guide you through preparation and aftercare, helping create a peaceful process that supports your pet’s comfort and overall wellbeing.
Medicated baths at Alma Animal Hospital support pets experiencing skin irritation, dryness, allergies, or excessive shedding. Using veterinarian-selected shampoos, we gently cleanse and soothe the skin while keeping your pet relaxed and comfortable. Our team explains the purpose of each bath and provides guidance for ongoing skin care, helping your pet enjoy healthier, calmer skin days.
Alma Animal Hospital is a privately owned, family-run veterinary clinic built on the same values that have guided Alta Vista Animal Hospital in Dunbar since 1998. Our new facility continues that legacy of compassionate care, now in a modern setting designed to support pets and families with reliable, community-based veterinary services.
