M 2 sits among the older numbered sectors, close to the government and commercial quarters, and the flats here hold a good number of house rabbits. Kept cool indoors, a rabbit sheds more or less without stopping, and somebody has to stay on top of it. Salonist lists the travelling rabbit groomers and small-animal clinics covering the sector, with live diaries and reviews nobody has edited. The pet grooming options in M 2 page is the place to start looking.
Sessions are deliberately low-key. The groomer settles the rabbit on a non-slip surface, runs a hand through the coat to find knots and read the skin, brushes the moult out in patient passes, unpicks mats with fingers and a comb, trims the claws just short of the blood supply and inspects the scent glands, ears and tail end. Rabbits are never bathed, never turned over and never clipped roughly, since their skin gives way under very little pressure. Allow twenty to forty five minutes. Bookings are also taken by rabbit grooming in M 24 nearby.
Being nearer the prime island districts, rates run a shade higher: about AED 48 to 90 for nails, AED 110 to 185 for a thorough brush and groom, and AED 150 to 245 for de-matting or a full moult strip, before any call-out is added. You may find rabbit grooming in M 3 quotes a little lower.
Once the loose fur has gone the rabbit will feel the cold more, so keep it out of the direct draught from the air conditioning while still keeping the room properly chilled. Check under the tail every day in summer, because soiled fur left damp is precisely what flystrike needs to take hold. The same daily checks are advised at rabbit grooming in M 32 2.
You will not find a rabbit groomer with premises in M 2 at present, so bookings go to handlers who come to your flat and clinics minutes away by car. Given how badly rabbits cope with travelling, that is usually the better arrangement in any case. Salonist handles the slot, the payment and the reviews in one place. Also listed is rabbit grooming in M 4.
