Why your cat needs grooming?

While cats are known for grooming themselves, professional grooming offers benefits that go far beyond what your feline can do on their own. Regular grooming helps prevent painful matting, especially in long-haired breeds, and reduces excessive shedding and hairballs. It also keeps your cat’s coat clean, skin healthy, and can even help detect early signs of health issues like lumps, parasites, or skin infections.

Nail trims, ear cleaning, and sanitary hygiene are essential parts of grooming that often get overlooked—but they play a big role in your cat’s comfort and well-being. A well-groomed cat is a healthier, happier cat. Plus, it makes cuddle time a lot more pleasant!

FAQ

How often should a cat take to the groomers?

Most cats benefit from professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks, especially long-haired breeds like Persians or Maine Coons. Short-haired cats may need grooming less often, but still benefit from occasional visits for nail trims, de-shedding, and hygiene care.

Why is my cat acting weird after being groomed?

Grooming can be a stressful or overstimulating experience, especially for cats not used to being handled, exposed to new smells, or hearing unfamiliar sounds like clippers or dryers. Afterward, your cat might seem withdrawn, overly alert, hide more than usual, or even act slightly grumpy.

This behavior is usually temporary and should pass within a day or two. Give your cat space, stay calm, and offer quiet comfort.

Do you sedate cats when grooming?

No, no, no, and no. That is a big no-no. We are professional groomers, and professional groomers do not sedate cats. We use gentle handling techniques, low-stress environments, and short sessions to keep cats calm and cooperative.

The only possible case is if a cat is extremely aggressive or severely matted—and only under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.
