2. Introduction
 Elmhurst Animal Care Center in Illinois provides
clients with a broad range of veterinary and pet
hygiene services. Elmhurst Animal Care Center
employs dedicated and gentle groomers who help to
maintain pets' appearance as well as their overall
health.
Proper grooming is essential to a pet's health and
comfort. A tangled coat can pull on the skin, creating a
constant discomfort. Brushing removes these knots
and nurtures a smoother coat, while also removing fur
that the dog has shed. If it remains enmeshed in the
healthy coat, dead hair or fur can overheat the dog in
the summer or prevent the growth of new insulating
fur in the winter.

3. Professional Pet Grooming
 Grooming provides the regular opportunity to
check for ticks and other parasites, which the
groomer can most often remove on sight.
Groomers can also identify ear mites and take
note of skin conditions, which they can
frequently treat with medicated shampoos.
Furthermore, groomers' attention to pets' skin
and hair often lets them identify lumps or
bumps in the skin, which may require
veterinary care and which could otherwise
have gone unnoticed.
