Do pet groomers work on cats?
Cat Groomers Provide a Thorough Brushing and/or Trim They tackle matted fur and knots and provide a trim to long-haired pets who need more maintenance. For example, some groomers will shave a cat’s fur to ½ length (if that’s what the customer wants.) Some cats appreciate having less fur, especially in the summer.
Can groomers handle aggressive cats?
For difficult cats the lion cut (shaved all over apart from the head, paws and feet) is an option, but this can cause major distress for an aggressive cat and has to be done either under sedation on a regular basis, or at the very least under stress from the groomer.
Will a vet groom my cat?
Many people choose instead to take their cat to a professional groomer for bathing or to arrange with their veterinarian to have the cat sedated and groomed at the veterinary clinic. Most people find that the easiest way to bathe their cat is in the laundry tub, bathroom sink, or bathtub.
How long does a cat grooming take?
An average range of 2-4 hours is common. This is typically so that the groomer can stagger grooming appointments so that there are multiple pets in the salon at time. This set up allows for cats to have breaks throughout the process if they need it, and can help the groomer keep the price lower.
How do you groom a reluctant cat?
Use a small, soft-bristled brush or a fine-toothed comb and, while you hold the kitten, gently touch him with the brush or comb. Let him sniff it but don’t let him attack it; you don’t want him to think fighting the grooming tools is acceptable. Gently brush or comb the kitten a few times and then let him go.
Why would someone shave a cat?
Cats with wounds and certain skin diseases can benefit because shaving aids in cleanliness and makes it easier to access and apply medications to the affected area. Cats often need to be shaved prior to surgery for much the same reasons, and if a cat’s fur becomes hopelessly matted, shaving may be the only recourse.
