Benefits of Cat Grooming | Swansea, IL Cat Groomers

Professional cat groomers in Swansea, IL can offer your feline family member something that they can't do themselves, and something that's difficult for most pet owners to carry out. Cats are reactive, and many of them run to hide in the cabinets when they see clippers, trimmers, or hear the water running. Our Swansea, IL cat groomers know how to make cats feel at ease and give them the great spa treatment they need and deserve. The following are a few of the important benefits of to getting your cat treated by professional cat groomers.

Claw Trimmings

A cat can injure himself or herself if they retract long nails too quickly. Furthermore, long nails can be dangerous to other people, pets, and items in your home. While we don't advise declawing cats for a variety of reasons, claw trimmings will help protect your hands and your sofa 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 Swansea, IL cat groomers offers a variety of benefits:

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

Even better, 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 Swansea, 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, saliva spreads an allergen through their fur and through your home. 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 decreases the possibility 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 a good idea to let professional Swansea, 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 an easy 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 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 a professional cat grooming make any issues easier to see, but expert cat groomers will be able to note anything from fleas, to signs of infection, or kidney health problems. If our cat groomers observe any potential issues, we can put you in touch with the best veterinary care in Swansea, IL.

But humans aren't cougars, 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 handled by humans they haven't made before.
