Pet Maintenance Essentials

Essential upkeep to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and feeling their best.

Pet Maintenance

Regular maintenance is a key part of your pet’s overall health and comfort. These small but important services—like nail care, coat upkeep, and hygiene touch-ups—help prevent discomfort, support mobility, and keep your pet feeling their best between full grooming appointments. At Grooms by Azzurra, we make these routines quick, gentle, and stress-free, ensuring every visit contributes to your pet’s long-term wellbeing.

Nail Care

Nail care is a vital part of your pet’s overall health and comfort. Nails should typically be trimmed every 4–6 weeks, though this varies by pet.

If nails grow too long, they can cause:

  • Cracking or splitting of the nail

  • Nails getting caught on objects

  • Discomfort or changes in posture
     

Our Service
A nail trim (and optional grinding) can be booked as an individual appointment.
Nail trimming is included with all full grooms and bath packages.

Coat Care

Routine coat maintenance prevents matting, reduces discomfort, and keeps skin healthy.

 

Matting can lead to:

  • Skin irritation or infections

  • Tightness or pain

  • Difficulty grooming
     

We are happy to recommend brushes, education on at-home coat care, and guidance on maintaining your pet’s specific coat type between visits.

Ear Care

Regular ear cleaning helps prevent wax buildup, odour, and potential infections — especially in floppy-eared breeds.

Signs of ear buildup include:

  • Head shaking

  • Scratching at ears

  • Odour or redness
     

Our Service
Ear cleaning is included in full grooms and available as a mini service.

Skin Care

Your pet's skin and coat protect them from everyday irritants. When the skin becomes dry or unbalanced, it can lead to discomfort and ongoing issues.

Common Signs:

  • Flakiness or redness

  • Hot spots

  • Odour or yeast

  • Scratching or licking

  • Hair thinning
     

Our Service

We assess your pet's skin at each visit and recommend products or treatments to help soothe irritation and keep their coat healthy.
