Pet Grooming Options for Cats
If you have a cat, deciding which pet groomer will be best is crucial since there are not many cat groomers
around. Look carefully at which facilities offer cat
grooming expertise. Cats can be hard to groom because
they are finicky animals, putting the groomer at risk for
bites and scratches. Choosing a good groomer for your
cat will ensure the health and happiness of your pet.
A bad pet groomer can make mistakes and hurt the animal,
making the cat emotionally distraught.
Grooming Cats is a lot Harder...
Grooming cats is a difficult job and some of the best dog groomers refuse to groom cats because of the danger to
themselves and the animal. Most cats don't like water
and bathing them can be an adventure. Since most cats
can become emotionally distraught when immersed in water,
a good pet groomer can calm the cat and protect both
parties involved.
A good cat groomer will use the necessary equipment and
gloves to make bathing more pleasant for the cat. These
techniques are designed to give the animal confidence in
the groomer and to keep the pet safe.
Cutting mats off of long-haired cats is the most
difficult job for a cat groomer. Persians and Blue Hairs
are known for having big mats several inches in diameter.
They can be tightly packed against the skin. These mats
need to be cut short enough to brush out without shaving
the hair off the skin. Long-haird cats can be open to
infection and disease if they have no hair on their body.
This can be costly to fix. This can also lead to skin
cancer and other skin diseases if the pet lives outside.
Depending on the distance to the groomer, the pet owner
may need to drive to the groomer and leave the cat
overnight.
Check Before You Leave The Groomer...
Before you leave the groomer, inspect your
animal and make sure there are no serious cuts or
abrasions. Run your fingers through the animals coat to
make sure all mats have been removed.
You can tip the professional 15% of the total charges if
you are happy with the service. You can brush your cat
daily to avoid mats and prevent frequent trips to the
groomer.
