What You Need to Know About Cat Grooming with Smoochie Pooch
Here are some helpful tips for before, during, and after your grooming appointment with us.
- Before: Are you concerned about how your cat may react during a grooming appointment? The first step to helping your cat relax begins at home. Expose your cats to brushes at home to help familiarize them with grooming tools. You can also set out your carrier ahead of time with their favorite blanket, towels, and treats to minimize negative associations. Learn more about how to help your cat relax before they go to the groomer.
- During: If you’ve selected a full groom with us, your cat will receive a bath (if they will tolerate one), nail trimming, ear cleaning, a brush out, and may include a lion cut. We also offer a basic groom, which does not include a lion cut. The average length of a cat grooming appointment ranges from two to four hours, depending on the type of groom, their coat’s condition, and required breaks to keep them comfortable. Your groomer will call you when your cat is ready for pickup.
- After: You may notice a change in behavior a day or so after their appointment. This is likely them getting used to their new coat or hair. Their skin can be more sensitive after removing matted or shedding hair, which can take a bit of time to get used to. However, regular professional cat grooming will make sure to avoid mats and help your cat look their best and feel comfortable.
