Hooked On a Feline Cat Grooming
The Benefits of Regular Grooming
A professional groom is much more than a bath or haircut! Grooming is essential to your cat’s health and quality of life. A professional groomer can assist your cat with:
CLAWS
Nails should be trimmed monthly. In addition to reducing how much your cat’s nails scratch you, your family, and your furniture, nail trimming is imperative for a cat’s health. If left to grow, nails can curl around and grow back into the paw pad which is not only very painful for the cat, but can easily result in infection.
EARS
Routine cleaning of ears helps ward off bacteria, yeast and fungal infections. Ear infections are painful, cause disorientation, and can lead to permanent problems such as deafness and facial paralysis. Professional cat groomers can help prevent painful ear infections by routinely checking and cleaning cat ears.
SHEDDING
Frequent bathing and brushing helps to improve the skin and coat condition of the pet. It stimulates circulation and removes dead skin and hair, undercoat, dirt, and excess oil. It also prevents mats and tangles from forming, which can be very painful and cause skin irritations.
COAT
Frequent bathing can dramatically cut down on how much hair you find around your house! A regular bathing schedule encourages most shedding hair to come out during the bath rather than on your furniture.
HEALTH
Groomers play a valuable role in alerting you of any health concerns; skin conditions, growths, fleas, hot spots, etc. can be caught early on. A groomer closely examines your cat during the groom, allowing for early detection of problems.
WELLNESS
Regular visits to the groomer can encourage a positive relationship between the cat and groomer, so grooming appointments are much less stressful this is especially important as you pet gets older.
