Benefits of Cat Grooming | O'Fallon, IL Cat Groomers

Master cat groomers in O'Fallon, 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 sensitive, and a lot of them run to hide under the couch when they see clippers, trimmers, or hear the sink or bathtub running. Our O'Fallon, IL cat groomers know how to make cats feel at ease and give them the great spa treatment they need and deserve. Below are a few of the important benefits of to getting your cat treated by professional cat groomers.

Claw Trimmings

A cat can cut himself or herself if they retract long nails too quickly. What's more, long nails can be a danger to other people, pets, and items in your home. While we don't recommend declawing cats for a myriad of reasons, claw trimmings will help keep your hands and sofa safe while still allowing 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 O'Fallon, IL cat groomers offers many different benefits:

• It removes dirt, dead hair, and dead skin flakes from their fur
• It makes hairballs less frequent
• It prompts blood flow
• It stimulates the production of natural oils that maintains the shine and health of your cat's coat

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

Bathing

If you believe Looney Tunes, water is equally a natural enemy to the majority of cats as dogs are. The O'Fallon, IL cat groomers at Cats Only understand how to introduce your cat slowly to water and make them comfortable. Cats lick themselves when they want to clean themselves. But when they do it, they spread an allergen found in their saliva through their fur and through your house. When your cat is bathed, it will make both them and your home free of allergens and more comfortable, and will get rid of any pests like fleas.

Ear Care

Ear cleaning decreases the possibility of infection for cats and helps clear out any extra debris. Cats have 32 muscles in their ears, which can be damaged easily, so it's a good idea to let professional O'Fallon, IL cat groomers tackle ear cleaning.

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

For longer-haired cats, trimming their fur can be a great way to impede pests, hairballs, and shedding for your cat, and allergic reactions for you. It can also help limit matted hair in the future. Don't worry, their fur grows back.

Grooming Reveals Any Health Problems

Cats are great at hiding pain; 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 an expert cat grooming make any issues easier to see, but professional cat groomers will be able to notice anything from fleas, to signs of infection, or kidney health problems. If our cat groomers see any potential issues, we can put you in touch with the best veterinary care in O'Fallon, IL.

Grooming Makes Cats More Comfortable With Humans

Your cat loves laying by your side on the bed, but probably runs away when someone else comes over to your O'Fallon, IL home. Cats are often reclusive and defensive by nature; it's how they survive in the wild. But humans aren't coyotes, and there's usually 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 unfamiliar humans.
