Preventing Matting in Cats

Grooming is a regular part of pet ownership, but it is especially important if your cat has a double coat that is prone to matting. In order to prevent uncomfortable mats, follow these tips.

First, you must make sure that you get the right brush. Sturdy metal combs are especially effective at getting down to the skin to tease apart clumped hair. Most combs also have a side with fine teeth and wide teeth, so you can adjust depending on the severity of the mat. If the mat is especially bad, you may have to tease it apart with your fingers first.

To keep mats from developing in the first place, make sure you brush your cat often. If you can’t brush your feline once a day, try and brush him once every couple of days. You can also consider shaving your cat. To learn more, call your veterinarian Four Oaks, NC.
