Frequently asked Cat Grooming Questions

---

Cat grooming is a skilled service that enables cat's to live healthy and non-restricted lives free from excessive hair.  A cat's coat can become knotted or congested with dead hair which prevents the skin being able to breathe and risks infection and fungal disease. In addition, knots or mats form and restrict the cat's ability to move and therefore groom themselves  effectively. 

A by product of shedding are furballs, created through ingesting  hair which is then vomited out.  Customers with indoor cats also enjoy the benefits of regular nail clips to prevent damage to furniture and carpets

All cats, whether long or shorthaired welcome a professional groom. With regular grooming, your cat can enjoy the benefits of a healthy skin and a shiny coat. Regular nail trims remove old or cracked nails as well as removing the sharp hook that can cause damage.

Most UK based cats have two shedding seasons when they are most at risk of  matting. Cats with medical issues, restricted movement or are elderly are susceptible all year round. Long haired cats need more frequent visits if owners struggle to maintain a grooming regime at home.
