What distinguishes this business
Animal House's Tuesday–Saturday groomer has a separate examination rule for sedation
Animal House in Arnold names Melissa as its groomer and lists Tuesday–Saturday appointments, rather than treating the hospital's entire week as grooming availability. Its cat admission rules require rabies and FVRCP records. An examination to establish the pet as a patient is specifically required if sedation is needed, so a routine grooming enquiry and a sedated appointment have different preparation and cost questions.

A question worth settling
Can Melissa confirm the feline service and estimate, and does this cat need a veterinary examination before grooming can be scheduled?
The shared canine-and-feline menu includes baths, haircuts, nails, ears and shedding care, but does not provide fixed cat prices. Records can be sent from another veterinarian; arranging an update at this hospital is a separate service, not automatically included in the groom. The website describes a cat waiting area across the hospital from the dog facilities, which is not the same as an exclusively feline business. Call 636-464-1038 and agree the appointment, any medical work and collection plan before travel.
