Cats take their grooming routines seriously, spending several hours a day licking their hair coat. However, your pet cat will benefit from some grooming help especially if you have a long-haired pet. Regular grooming sessions with a brush can help keep your cat’s coat in good condition by preventing the formation of mats and tangles. Brushing also stimulates the skin glands to produce natural oils that keep the cat’s hair coat shiny and healthy. Cats don’t really need to bathe regularly. In addition to brushing their hair coat, you can use hypoallergenic pet tissues to wipe off any dirt or dust from their bodies. This is also a good way to lessen the allergens from cat dander. When your cat’s hair is tightly matted, you shouldn’t attempt to trim it off with a pair of scissors for it may result in skin injury. It is highly recommended that you bring your pet to the groomer for professional care and attention.
Any sign of hair coat or skin problem should warrant an appointment with your animal hospital Aurora CO.
