Professional Grooming From the Team You Trust
Pet Grooming Services in San Antonio & North Central San Antonio, TX
Regular grooming is an important part of your pet’s overall health, comfort, and hygiene. Professional pet grooming services support healthy skin and coat condition while helping pets stay clean and comfortable year-round. For families in San Antonio and North Central San Antonio, TX, grooming in a veterinary setting provides added reassurance that pets are cared for with safety and oversight in mind.
Grooming services are appropriate for pets of all ages, breeds, and coat types and can be especially beneficial for pets with specific skin, coat, or medical needs.
More Than Just Skin Deep
Grooming is more than a cosmetic service. Routine grooming helps maintain healthy skin and coat, reduces matting, and supports early identification of potential health concerns. During grooming appointments, changes such as skin irritation, abnormal lumps, ear issues, or signs of parasites may be noticed early, allowing for prompt follow-up if needed.
Regular grooming also supports comfort, particularly for long-haired breeds or pets prone to matting, and can help reduce shedding and skin irritation.
Regular grooming helps to:
- Maintain healthy skin and coat
- Reduce shedding and matting
- Prevent skin irritation and infections
- Improve comfort, especially for long-haired breeds
- Support overall hygiene and wellness
Grooming for Dogs and Cats
Because grooming takes place within a veterinary setting, pets receive an added level of oversight and care. This can be especially reassuring for senior pets, pets with medical conditions, or pets that may feel anxious during grooming. Familiar handling and a controlled environment help support a calmer experience.
Grooming services may include:
- Bathing with pet-safe shampoo
- Blow drying, brushing, and de-shedding
- Hair trimming or full haircut based on breed or owner preference
- Nail trimming
- Ear cleaning
- Anal gland expression when appropriate and requested
- Sanitary trims around the face, feet, and rear
- Skin and coat checks during grooming

Took my car to North Star Animal Hospital for a health certificate in preparation for an upcoming move. Our nurse Elizabeth was very thorough, professional and kind in preparing the documents. Dr. Pittman and the rest of the staff were all very compassionate and caring!!!Posted on Google
Alejandra ElizabethWe have always had an exceptional experience with the kind receptionists, techs & Dr. Meyer/Dr. Ramsey. Would highly recommend bringing your fur babies here! Cost is very reasonable compared to other places.Posted on Google
Ashley HernandezI've had nothing but great experiences with NSAH. I was recommended to go here for my new pup and have made several visits since May. Staff is always welcoming and helpful. Dr. Youssef is very kind and I really enjoy seeing Elizabeth, when we go. She's so informative and caring. Far from where I live, but so worth it!Posted on Google
DJ ShorttSaved our dogs life! Went there to get an ultrasound because another vet had told us our dogs liver was super swollen. They found that our dogs gall bladder was huge and rushed him into surgery. They moved their whole Saturday schedule around to make sure he got his surgery within the hour! They made sure to take great care of him after the surgery as well!!!!Posted on Google
Marsha BonnettDr. Youssef, Dr. Pittman and the entire staff At Northstar Animal Hospital are phenomenal! They gave my cat “Lucy” the most amazing, wonderful care. They cared for my girl as if she was their own. They have the expertise, skills, knowledge and more importantly, I believe they truly love the pets that are in their care. And, not only the pets but the family as well. I can never repay them for how they took My Lucy and I under their wings. I pray blessings over Dr. Youssef, Dr.Pittman and the entire Staff.Posted on Google
Chris JThis is my first time here. I meant to go to another place but ended up here... I got the names confused! Well I'm glad I ended up here because it's a great place. The people are so friendly! And they're so professional! The doctor is very friendly and efficient. He certainly knows what he's doing! Same goes for the assistants. They are pros and know how to handle cats. One thing I love is that I was allowed to be in the room. The last couple times, at other veterinarians, my cat was whisked away and I had no idea what they were doing with him. I loved being able to comfort my cat while he was being examined, etc. in summary, I would certainly recommend North Star! 😊
