Pet Grooming in Highlands Ranch, CO

We offer professional pet grooming services in a calm, clean, and pet-centered environment.

Compassionate, One-on-One Pet Grooming Services

At Altitude Animal Hospital, we believe grooming services are an essential part of your companion’s health and well-being, not just a luxury. That’s why we provide personalized dog and cat grooming services six days a week in a serene, clean environment designed to minimize stress and maximize comfort.

Our experienced groomers work one-on-one with each pet, ensuring that your dog or cat is the sole focus during their appointment. Most grooming sessions are completed in under two hours, and pets are never kept in kennels longer than necessary. We welcome dogs to roam freely in the grooming area when not actively being groomed, creating a spa-like experience that feels safe and comfortable.

Whether your pet needs a full spa haircut, a de-shedding treatment, or a simple nail trim, we tailor each session to their unique needs—and yours.

Why Pet Grooming Matters for Health

Regular grooming isn’t just about appearance—it helps prevent health issues such as:

  • Skin infections from matted fur
  • Discomfort from overgrown nails
  • Ear infections caused by trapped debris
  • Disrupted mobility due to paw overgrowth
  • Unnoticed lumps or parasites

By staying on a grooming schedule, your pet stays cleaner, more comfortable, and easier to monitor for health changes. Our groomers work closely with our medical team to catch early warning signs of potential health issues.
