Grooming

Yes, regular grooming can greatly reduce shedding in cats. Brushing helps remove loose fur before it ends up on your furniture and clothes. It also keeps your cat’s coat healthy, reduces hairballs, and strengthens the bond between you and your feline friend.

In the UK, cat grooming prices typically range from £30 to £90 per session, averaging around £40 for basic services like brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. Mobile or long haired cats may cost more, with some groomers charging between £40 and £70 for standard grooms, potentially reaching £90 for extra-large cats. For full grooming packages, including baths and styling, expect to pay £50 to £120 or more depending on coat length and any special care needed such as de-matting or lion cuts.

Grooming a cat means maintaining their coat, skin, and overall hygiene to keep them healthy and comfortable. This includes brushing to remove loose fur, trimming nails, and sometimes bathing or de matting. Tools like our Pet Hair Removal Comb £9.99 and Cat Stripping Knife £11.99 make at home grooming easier and more effective.

Cats groom each other as a way to bond and show affection, a behavior called allogrooming. It helps them clean hard to reach areas, reduce stress, and strengthen social connections within their group. This mutual grooming is a sign of trust and comfort between cats.

Yes, indoor cats still benefit from grooming to control shedding and maintain coat health. Brushing helps reduce hairballs, improves skin condition, and provides bonding time with your cat.

Most cats should be groomed at least once or twice a week. Long haired breeds may need daily brushing, while short haired cats need less frequent care. Regular grooming keeps coats shiny and prevents matting.
