Benefits of Cat Grooming | Collinsville, IL Cat Groomers

Master cat groomers in Collinsville, IL can offer your feline family member something that they can't do themselves, and something that's hard for most pet owners to carry out. Cats are sensitive, and a lot of them run to hide under the bed when they see clippers, trimmers, or hear the water running. Our Collinsville, IL cat groomers know how to make cats relaxed and give them the excellent spa treatment they need and deserve. The following are a few of the great advantages to getting your cat treated by professional cat groomers.

Claw Trimmings

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

If you like, we can apply nail caps on your cat's nails as a compassionate substitute for declawing.

Brushing

A brushing by professional Collinsville, IL cat groomers provides a variety of benefits:

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

Better yet, brushing a cat releases endorphins that make them happy and comfortable.

Bathing

If you believe Looney Tunes, water is just as much of a natural enemy to most cats as dogs are. The Collinsville, IL cat groomers at Cats Only understand how to introduce your cat slowly to water and not freak them out. Cats lick themselves when they want to clean themselves. But when they do it, they spread an allergen found in their saliva through their coat and through your house. When your cat is bathed, it will make both your cat and your home free of allergens and more pleasant, and will rid them of any pests like fleas.

Ear Care

Ear cleaning reduces the risk of infection for cats and helps clear out any excess debris. Cats have 32 muscles in their ears, which can be injured easily, so it's preferable to let professional Collinsville, IL cat groomers tackle ear cleaning.

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

For cats with longer coats, trimming 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 pain; it's one of the ways the species has survived and thrived for so long. Clues to their health can be found in their fur, ears, mouth, and skin. Not only will an expert cat grooming make any issues easier to see, but professional cat groomers will be able to note anything from fleas, to signs of infection, or kidney issues. If our cat groomers notice any potential issues, we can connect you with the best veterinary care in Collinsville, IL.

Grooming Makes Cats More Comfortable With Humans

Your cat loves laying by your side on the sofa, but probably hides when someone else comes over to your Collinsville, IL home. Cats are often withdrawn and defensive because of their instincts; it's how they evolved. But humans aren't coyotes, and there's generally no reason for them to hide when a friend or family member comes over. Cats Only's expert cat groomers will help them feel comfortable with being around humans they haven't made before.
