What distinguishes this business

Cat intake includes an annual examination and negative fecal test, not vaccines alone

Countryside Veterinary Hospital's grooming page explicitly accepts cats and separates their intake requirements from those for dogs. The feline list includes a wellness exam within the previous twelve months, FVRCP, rabies vaccination and an annual negative fecal test. An owner with only a rabies certificate therefore needs to resolve the remaining records before assuming the Chelmsford grooming appointment can proceed.

A question worth settling

Will you accept my current veterinarian's exam and test records, and is any separate appointment needed before the cat's groom?

The page mentions bathing, nail and ear care, but its detailed spa bullet list addresses dogs. Ask for the exact cat package rather than adding every dog treatment to the estimate. The hospital's long office hours also do not identify the feline groomer's schedule. Call 978-256-9555 for grooming and pricing; the separately listed text number is 978-689-2197. Confirm whether any missing examination or test creates an additional charge. These are the operator's admission requirements, not a claim that every Massachusetts groomer follows the same rules.
