What distinguishes this business
The bathing policy requires a recent examination by this hospital's veterinarians
VCA Augustine Loretto's location-specific cat page confirms bathing, brushing, nails and shave-downs. Its bathing policy requires an examination by one of its veterinarians within the previous twelve months, along with current rabies vaccination, before booking. That requirement can affect both lead time and cost for a new client. The Old St. Augustine Road hospital directs grooming enquiries to 904-262-4553.

A question worth settling
Does my cat already meet your examination requirement, or must I arrange a veterinary visit before grooming?
Ask whether outside records satisfy any part of intake and request the exam and grooming charges separately. A hospital setting does not make the examination free or establish that sedation is included. Confirm the feline groomer's schedule rather than equating all hospital hours with grooming availability. For an older cat already seeing another veterinarian, this intake question is especially useful: it establishes whether a second appointment is needed before you arrange grooming transport.
