The Best Way to Perform Cat Grooming

Cat grooming can be an intimidating process. Of course, you can do this task at home, but you and your cat will likely be happier if you bring them to a professional.

A Good Start

It’s crucial that you brush or comb your cat on a regular basis, especially if they have longer fur and are prone to developing mats. This will make bathing a cat much easier overall.

Nail Trimming

Trim your cat’s nails with special pet nail trimmers. You should put them on a surface that is not slippery. Once your cat becomes used to this, they probably will be more calm, but you’ll probably still need to hold them in place to prevent them from trying to run off or otherwise move and get hurt.

Bathing

This is an incredibly important part of the grooming process. Make sure you have a towel readily on hand to use afterward so your pet will be more comfortable. Secure your cat with a harness around their middle or some other way that will keep them safe. Use warm water and a gentle pet shampoo or a bar soap that is without any harsh perfumes. Be careful not to wash their face, as cats especially don’t like this. Start at their legs and work upwards, rinsing off the soap slowly and carefully.

Cats are an extension of our families and deserve the best possible care that includes proper cat grooming. Brushing, nail trimming, and bathing are crucial. Reach out to an expert grooming service to help with this process.
