Benefits of Cat Grooming | Belleville, IL Cat Groomers

Master cat groomers in Belleville, IL can offer your furry family member something that they can't do themselves, and something that's difficult for most pet owners to do. Cats are reactive, and many of them run to hide under the bed when they see clippers, trimmers, or hear the water running. Our Belleville, IL cat groomers know how to make cats comfortable and give them the luxurious spa treatment they need and deserve. The following are a few of the important benefits of to having your cat groomed by professional cat groomers.

Claw Trimmings

A cat can cut himself or herself if they retract long nails too fast. What's more, long nails can be dangerous to other people, pets, and items in your home. While we don't recommend declawing cats for a variety of reasons, claw trimmings will help keep your hands and sofa safe while still permitting cats to follow their natural inclinations.

If you would prefer, we can apply nail caps on your cat's claws as a humane substitute for declawing.

Brushing

A brushing by professional Belleville, IL cat groomers offers numerous benefits:

• It removes dirt, dead hair, and dead skin flakes from their fur
• It limits the amount of hairballs
• It stimulates blood flow
• It promotes the production of natural oils that keep your cat's fur shiny and healthy

Best of all, brushing a cat releases endorphins that make them content and comfortable.

Bathing

According to Looney Tunes, water is just as much of a natural enemy to the majority of cats as dogs are. The Belleville, IL cat groomers at Cats Only understand how to introduce your cat slowly to water and not freak them out. Licking is cats' way of cleaning themselves. But in doing so, saliva spreads an allergen through their coat and through the air. Cleaning your cat by bathing will make both your cat and your home free of allergens and more comfortable, and will get rid of any pests like fleas.

Ear Care

Ear cleaning reduces the risk of infection for cats and helps remove any extra debris. Cats have 32 muscles in their ears, which can be damaged easily, so it's best to let professional Belleville, IL cat groomers handle cleaning your cat's ears.

Sanitary Shaves, Belly Shaves, Lion's Cut, and Teddy Bear Cut

For longer-haired cats, shaving their fur can be an easy way to reduce pests, hairballs, and shedding for your cat, and allergic reactions for you. It can also help ward off matted hair in the future. Don't worry, their coat will grow back.

Grooming Reveals Any Health Problems

Cats are known for hiding illness; it's a defense mechanism and one of their survival instincts. Clues to their health can be found in their fur, ears, mouth, and skin. Not only will a professional cat grooming make any health problems easier to spot, but professional cat groomers will be able to note anything from fleas, to signs of infection, or kidney health problems. If our cat groomers notice any potential issues, we can put you in touch with the best veterinary care in Belleville, IL.

Grooming Makes Cats More Comfortable With Humans

Your cat loves laying next to you on the sofa, but probably hides when someone else visits your Belleville, IL home. Cats are often withdrawn and defensive because of their instincts; it's how they survive in the wild. But humans aren't coyotes, and there's typically no reason for them to hide when a friend or family member comes over. Cats Only's expert cat groomers will help them feel at ease with being around unfamiliar humans.
