Benefits of Cat Grooming | Sauget, IL Cat Groomers

Expert cat groomers in Sauget, IL can offer your feline friend something that they can't provide for themselves, and something that's hard for most pet owners to do. Cats are sensitive, and a lot of them run to hide in the cabinets when they see clippers, trimmers, or hear the sink or bathtub running. Our Sauget, IL cat groomers know how to make cats comfortable and give them the luxurious spa treatment they need and deserve. Below are a few of the important advantages to getting your cat groomed by professional cat groomers.

Claw Trimmings

A cat can cut himself or herself if they retract long claws too quickly. Furthermore, long nails can be hazardous to other people, pets, and your furniture. While we don't recommend 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 would prefer, we can apply nail caps on your cat's nails as a humane substitute for declawing.

Brushing

A brushing by professional Sauget, IL cat groomers offers a lot of benefits:

• It removes dirt, matted hair, and dead skin flakes from their coat
• It limits the amount of hairballs
• It encourages blood flow
• It stimulates 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 stress-free.

Bathing

If you believe Looney Tunes, water is equally a natural enemy to most cats as dogs are. The Sauget, IL cat groomers at Cats Only know how to introduce your cat slowly to water and not freak them out. Licking is cats' way of cleaning themselves. But when they do it, saliva spreads an allergen 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 pleasant, and will get rid of any pests like fleas.

Ear Care

Ear cleaning lowers the chance of infection for cats and helps clear out any extra debris. Cats have 32 muscles in their ears, which can be harmed easily, so it's a good idea to let professional Sauget, IL cat groomers handle cleaning your cat's ears.

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

For cats with longer coats, 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 prevent matted hair in the future. Don't worry, their fur grows back.

Grooming Reveals Any Health Problems

Cats are experts at hiding pain; it's a defense mechanism and one of their survival instincts. Signals about 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 see, but professional cat groomers will be able to notice 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 Sauget, IL.

Grooming Makes Cats More Comfortable With Humans

Your cat loves snuggling by your side on the sofa, but probably runs away when someone else visits your Sauget, IL home. Cats are often withdrawn and defensive by nature; it's how they evolved. But humans aren't coyotes, and there's usually no need for them to hide when a friend or family member comes to visit. Cats Only's expert cat groomers will help them feel comfortable with being around humans they haven't made before.
