Everything you need to know about Cat Grooming

 

Anyone who has a cat knows how much time they spend during the day grooming themselves. This is a natural instinct – they keep at it to remove and scents that might tip off other animals that a cat is around. Their daily grooming routine also ensures that their skin’s natural oils are spread out evenly – keeping their coats clean and shiny.

Although cats tend to seem quite clean on their own and require little maintenance, this may not always be the case, especially when it comes to cats with longer, thicker coats. Their grooming routine only cleans the top of their coat. Also, senior cats may not be able to groom themselves as much as they did in their younger days.

Professional grooming comes in to help cats get a deeper cleaning – groomers make sure they reach the cat’s skin to prevent any irritations, hot spots and also getting rid of any fur matting. Also, checking for parasites such as ticks and fleas is an essential part of professional grooming.

Therefore, while cats do a good job with basic grooming on their own, there are several grooming areas that they need help with.

To summarize, here are the top benefits of professional cat grooming:

• Flea/parasite check
• Addressing fur mats
• Identify dermatologic issues
• Preventing mats and dermatological issues before they happen
• Soothing medicated shampoos for clean, shiny, fur
• Fresh smell
• Calmer cat
• Tracking weight
• Keep your cat’s nails trimmed
• Ear cleaning
• Timing with medical bathing treatments
