How often should my cat be groomed?
It depends on the breed and coat type. Long-haired cats usually benefit from grooming every 4 to 6 weeks to prevent matting. Short-haired cats can be groomed every 8 to 12 weeks to manage shedding and dander.
My cat is very aggressive/fearful. Can you still groom them?
Yes. We are trained in feline behavior and use low-stress handling techniques. If a cat becomes too stressed, we may suggest breaking the grooming up into multiple shorter sessions or recommending a mild sedative prescribed by your veterinarian.
Do cats really need baths? Don't they clean themselves?
While cats do groom themselves, they are essentially licking themselves with saliva, which can build up over time along with dirt, dander, and grease. Professional bathing removes these elements, leaving a truly clean coat and reducing allergens in your home.
How should I prepare my cat for their appointment?
Try to keep the environment calm before leaving home. Place their carrier out a few days in advance so they get used to it. Avoid feeding them a large meal right before the car ride to prevent motion sickness.
