EnglishIs Grooming Available for New Clients at College Park Animal Hospital?
Updated
No. According to the current notice on indyvets.com, the grooming schedule at College Park Animal Hospital (Michigan Road Animal Hospital at 96th St) is full, and the hospital is not accepting new grooming clients at this time. New clients can ask to join a waitlist and will be contacted when openings become available. Medical appointments are handled separately — the hospital still offers same-day care for urgent needs and welcomes new patients for veterinary care.
What the Current Grooming Notice Says
The site's "Grooming Services Update" states three things:
- The grooming schedule is currently full.
- New grooming clients are not being accepted right now.
- New clients are welcome to join the waitlist and will be contacted as openings become available.
The notice does not give a timeline for when the waitlist will move, so treat any estimate as unknown until the hospital confirms it directly.
How to Join the Grooming Waitlist
- Call or text (317) 228-0645. This is the number listed for the hospital's team; the site presents text and phone as the main contact routes.
- Say you want to be added to the grooming waitlist as a new client. Ask what information they need from you (pet name, breed, contact details) so you're ready when a spot opens.
- Ask what happens next. Confirm how they will contact you and whether the waitlist is first-come, first-served.
- Expect to wait. The hospital will reach out when an opening becomes available; there is no published date.
If you'd rather not wait, ask the team whether they can recommend another option — but note the site itself does not list alternative groomers.
Grooming vs. Medical Appointments
These are separate tracks, and the grooming freeze does not affect veterinary care:
| Need | Current status | How to start |
|---|---|---|
| Grooming (new client) | Not accepting; waitlist only | Call or text (317) 228-0645 to join the waitlist |
| Urgent medical care | Same-day care offered for urgent needs (e.g., earaches, upset stomachs) | Call or text (317) 228-0645 |
| General wellness / new patient visits | New clients welcome for veterinary care | Call or text (317) 228-0645 |
| Itchy pet or anxiety concerns | Hospital invites you to talk to them or book | Use the site's Book Now / contact options |
Before You Count on Grooming
- Status can change. The notice reflects the schedule at the time it was posted; availability may shift. Confirm by phone or text before making plans around grooming.
- Hours matter for reaching the team. Main hours are Monday–Wednesday 7:30am–6:00pm, with the posted schedule continuing beyond Wednesday — check the full hours on the site or ask when you call.
- The hospital is AAHA-accredited, which is relevant to the medical side of the practice rather than to grooming availability.
Bottom Line
If you're a new client seeking grooming at College Park Animal Hospital, you can't book a grooming appointment right now — the only path is to join the waitlist at (317) 228-0645 and wait to be contacted. If your pet needs medical attention, including same-day urgent care, that route remains open and is arranged through the same phone/text number.
