The benefits of grooming
Every pet deserves the best, here are just some of the benefits of regular grooming:
- Your pet will feel fresh as a daisy. Never underestimate what this can do for their mental well-being, especially in older pets who are less able to keep themselves clean.
- An important part of their healthcare, dead hair and dirt will be removed and painful matts prevented.
- Grooming can have a massaging effect on the skin such that blood supply is stimulated, the result is a healthy and shiny coat.
- Nail length is kept in check, preventing in-growing nail problems and discomfort when exercising.
- Cleaning and plucking ears helps to keep them free from infection.
- Grooming your pets can help keep your home clean from hair, dirt and bacteria shed by your pet.
Cat Grooming
Our team carry out cat grooming for cats who have long hair and become matted. In general, sedation is necessary so we use a small amount of a reversible sedation and monitor your cat so we can reverse the sedation if necessary. All sedatives are administered and monitored by our veterinary surgeons. As long haired cats gets older they can find it difficult to groom themselves and are often left with severely matted coats which they cannot manage themselves, regular grooming of our older patients helps to prevent these matts building up.
