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.
