Caring for their coat between grooms

Every coat has its own needs between grooms. A little regular care keeps them comfortable and makes every visit easier.

Choose the right tools

A slicker for curly and wiry coats, an undercoat rake for double coats, a rubber brush for smooth coats, a wide comb for long-haired cats.

Little and often

Five minutes a few times a week beats an hour once a month. Short sessions keep it calm.

Check the tricky spots

Behind the ears, under the arms, the tummy and the tail. That’s where knots like to hide.

Mind the nails

If you hear clicking on the floor, nails are due. We can trim them between grooms.

End on a treat

Finish every brushing session with a reward, so the brush means good things.
