When people think of pet grooming they usually associate it with dogs. However, sometimes cats require help with personal care too. Older felines, cats who are ill or recovering from surgery and even cats with severe flea infestations may need human assistance to get things under control. Since most cats can be less than cooperative during bathing and nail trimming it might be a good idea to let a professional handle the situation.
There is nothing nice about a cat that’s in need of cleaning/grooming. For the most part cats have a dislike for bathing which only complicates the situation. Grooming services for cats can help with this problem. A trained pet stylist can safely bathe a feline using a hydro surge infused shampoo method that will thoroughly clean down to the skin. This works well on cats with thick or thin coats, as well as on hairless varieties. The shampooing is followed by a conditioning treatment and up to 15 minutes of brushing while the cat is hand dried. The stylist will also carefully clean the cat’s ears and do a nail trimming during the visit. If a haircut is requested for the kitty, the stylist will provide a trim that works well for the particular breed, or cut it according to the owner’s wishes.
Besides basic grooming services there are several specialty services that a cat owner may wish to consider. For cats that have extremely thick fur brushing with a furminator will safely remove any loose hair from the undercoat, which can help to eliminate shedding and hairball issues. Tooth brushing services are another option for cats that are prone to bad breath. If a cat has come in contact with a skunk a deodorizing treatment may be necessary to fully remove the smell. If a feline is infested with fleas a professional treatment may be the best way to get the problem under control.
Some cat owners also enjoy adding that special touch during a grooming visit. Hair coloring is one way to do that. Only pet safe dyes are ever used for this option which can be done with either a permanent or semi-permanent dye. No matter what grooming services are chosen, a professional stylist can make it easier for the cat involved and his human companions too.
