Grooming Services
Clean, healthy, and comfortable
We provide limited grooming services by appointment including nail trims and sanitary shaves. We also offer full body shave-downs for cats that are very matted and require sedation.
Our Grooming Services
Nail Trims
Regular nail trims help keep your cat comfortable and prevent painful overgrown nails. We recommend trimming nails once per month. This is especially important for senior cats who do not shed their nails well and can end up with thickened, curled nails.
Sanitary Shaves
Sanitary trims help keep your cat clean and comfortable, especially for long-haired cats.
Full Body Shave-Downs
For cats that are severely matted, we offer full body shave-downs under sedation for their safety and comfort.
At-Home Grooming
Choosing a brush
For a short-haired cat, we recommend a furminator-type brush to help get rid of the undercoat. For a long-haired cat, a combination of a rake, comb, and furminator can be used to help brush out mats and get the undercoat.
Removing mats
Electric clippers designed for animals are the best tool to use. We do not recommend using scissors due to the risk of cutting the skin.
Bathing
Most cats do not require regular bathing. The exceptions are hairless or thin-haired cats that have oily skin or older cats that are not grooming appropriately.
Dandruff
Dandruff can be a sign of poor grooming or poor diet, caused by dry or thin fur. If your cat is overweight, losing weight may help them groom more frequently. Switching to a higher quality food can also help. Dandruff can also be a sign of internal disease such as diabetes.
We’re here to help keep your cat clean, healthy, and comfortable.
