Frequently asked questions

As a certified veterinary technician with 20 years of experience, A Paw Above LLC is dedicated to providing accessible and stress-free care for your beloved pets in your home. We pride ourselves on our professionalism.

How often should I get my pets nails trimmed?

The frequency of nail trims depends on several factors, including your pet's breed, activity level, and age. Generally, nails should be trimmed every 4-8 weeks. Overly long nails can cause discomfort, lead to paw issues, and even affect your pet's gait. We can assess your pet's specific needs during our visit.

Is there anything I should do to prepare for your visit?

Before your pet's visit, please have your a collar or harness on your dog. For cats, please have your cat contained to one (small) room such as a bathroom or in a carrier. These small steps will help prevent lengthy delays during your visit.

Do you see only cats and dogs?

No, we also see rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs!

Do you offer services beyond nail trims, like basic grooming?

As certified veterinary technicians, we can offer certain basic grooming services like mat removal and sanitary trims during your pet's visit, as long as your pet is comfortable with it. However, we are not professional groomers, and these services are offered to help your pet remain comfortable. If more in depth grooming is needed, we may recommend you bring your pet to a professional groomer.
