Bunny Grooming
2025-10-19 12:00 - 14:30 | PA
Attention all bunny parents! Animal Friends will be offering appointments for grooming services for your long-eared loved ones. For a $20 donation we’ll treat your bunny to a spa day that includes a nail trim, scent gland cleaning and ear cleaning. Since the average cost of a nail trim alone typically costs about $15-20, this is a deal you simply can’t pass up!
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. As always, 100% of the proceeds benefit our animal residents. What are you waiting for? Your rabbit deserves some pampering! There are three spots available for each time slot.
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

Your rabbit must arrive to his/her appointment in a carrier for safety reasons and to give your bun a secure feeling while in transport.
All grooming clients must be fully vaccinated to be eligible for a grooming session.
Rabbits must have an initial RHD (Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease) vaccine and a booster at/or around 21 days after the initial vaccine.
Rabbits will not be considered FULLY vaccinated against RHD until 72-hours after the second dose has been given.
Please email your rabbit’s RHD vaccination record to AFU@ThinkingOutsideTheCage.org ahead of your appointment, please. If you are unable to do so, please bring your proof of vaccinations with you to the appt.
Vaccines are valid for 1 year and must be boosted annually unless otherwise indicated by a veterinarian
Long-haired, giant rabbit breeds and those with a mane require two, back-to-back appointments.
