Your cat is an important part of your life, and you want to be there for her whenever she needs you. This makes you wonder – does she need your help when it comes to grooming?

Your cat is likely able to cover her basic grooming needs on her own, but will still need your help with certain tasks. These will include brushing her on a regular basis and removing things she may get on her fur in excess or that may be harmful if she licked them off. Sometimes tangled fur will need addressing, as will foreign debris that could get cause in her fur. Take into account your pet’s general health, as cats who are sick or injured may need additional assistance. Also, those who are very young or very old may need an extra hand. For more information, please contact your local Ellicott City, MD veterinarian.
