Although many pet parents choose to visit the groomer, many other people choose to groom their cat at home instead. Here are a few things your groomer wants you to know about grooming your cat on your own.

First, cats don’t have to have regular baths, unless you have a hairless breed. Don’t give your cat a bath just because. Only give your cat a bath if he needs one because he has fleas or he got into something dangerous that needs to be washed away.

Cats don’t have to have their nails clipped. We clip them to keep them from being sharp. If you don’t want to clip your cat’s nails on your own, try cat nail caps instead.

Mats can be very painful, so brush your cat’s hair before they develop! For even more tips, click here, or contact your veterinarian Westlake Village, CA.
