We’re used to our patients being “cute,” but lately our clients have been describing their pets as “beautiful,” “gorgeous,” and “stunning!” It’s all thanks to our full-time groomer, Briana. She started clipping and styling her family pets when she was ten years old, and grooming has been her passion ever since. After six years of experience in professional grooming salons, we are thrilled she joined the Emerald team. To schedule a grooming appointment with Briana, call 216-749-7161.

Stop in anytime between 9 am and 6 pm Thursday August 15th and we will be happy to scan your pet’s microchip, just to make sure a shelter would be able to reunite you with your lost pet. Then go online and double check that all of your contact information for that chip number is accurate. Of course, if your pet hasn’t been microchipped yet, we can do that too!

Dr. Lord has conducted research showing how effective microchips are in reunited pets with their owners.
