Cat grooming is becoming an increasingly popular service among pet owners. Such animals look attractive and well-groomed. And they have much fewer health problems than other four-legged pets. At the ARTEMONoff salon, specialists will perform professional correction in accordance with the wishes of the breeder and taking into account the condition of the pet’s coat.

Hygienic cat grooming

Cat grooming "Puma"

This type is recommended for animals with certain skin or coat problems. Experts include the most common indications for hygienic cat grooming:

• Tangled fur, tangles or heavy dirt that cannot be removed with thorough washing.
• Ectoparasites and allergic dermatitis that occurs in response to insect bites.
• Hypersecretion of the skin glands, leading to “greasy hair” a few days after bathing using professional cosmetics for animals.
• Gastrointestinal diseases caused by ingestion of large amounts of wool.
• Maintaining cleanliness and order in the house. Long-haired pets leave it on interior items and wardrobe items. Regular visits to a professional allow you to minimize all the unpleasant consequences of keeping a cat with a luxurious coat in your home.

If the owner cannot devote enough time every day to brushing his own four-legged friend, then hygienic grooming will be the optimal solution. The specialist adjusts the hair length. This avoids excessive shedding and swallowing of fluff during licking. Once in the stomach, the hairs stick together and mix with pieces of food. The result is the formation of flat lumps that can block the outlet of the stomach. In particularly severe cases, there is obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract and the only solution will be surgical intervention to save the life of the cat.

When performing the manipulation, guard hair up to 3 mm long remains on the animal’s body. The groomer gives him a neat appearance. This solution makes daily care easier for the cat and also eliminates the risk of matting.

Required Tools

To groom a cat you will need the following tools:

• long-toothed comb;
• a slicker brush is needed to comb out all the fallen hair;
• nail clipper;
• cotton pads and sticks;
• special toothbrush and toothpaste;
• antiseptics in case the animal gets injured during hygiene procedures;
• scissors;
• trimmer.

It is not recommended to cut tangles with scissors. It is very easy to injure an animal this way. And trying to untangle them is also not a good idea. Due to the special structure of wool, this is impossible. A trimmer is best for removing tangles.

You should not use any human products when caring for your cat. Toothpaste has too strong a smell and can cause irritation, and human shampoo is not suitable for a cat. A human toothbrush has too hard bristles. If there are no other options, you can use a brush for very young children. It is better to purchase all other products at a veterinary store in the cat products section. .

Model cat haircut

Professionals at the ARTEMONoff salon with many years of experience perform model correction on cats. This allows you to demonstrate all the beauty of the coat, the ideal physique of your pet, or hide small deviations from the breed standard.

The most popular model grooming options, which are widely used among owners, include:

• French lion . This cat haircut involves short hair on the back, top of the paws and at the base of the tail. On the head and neck it remains untouched, creating the illusion of a luxurious mane on the pet. A small brush is left at the tip of the tail.
• Puma . It is performed similarly to the French Lion haircut, but additionally leaves a fluffy shirtfront on the chest.
• The Dragon . Indicates the presence of short hair on the sides and belly. In the area of ​​the spine, the length of the coat remains intact. The groomer only gives it the appearance of a carved comb.

When choosing a place for cat grooming on Belomorskaya, pay attention to the ARTEMONoff salon. Professionals with many years of experience will find an approach to a cat with the most complex character.

Description of the procedure process

To cut your cat's hair, you need to choose a moment when he is calm and peaceful. Otherwise, it is better to postpone the event at home. In salons, aggressive cats are put on a special collar and sometimes given anesthetics. For nervous, fearful cats, it is better to avoid trimming or minimize stress by using an at-home cat grooming service.

How are cats cut? To begin with, comb thoroughly. After this, they are laid on their side and held by the paws: front and back. Therefore, if you are planning a large-scale haircut at home, you will need an assistant. Follow this order for cutting the fur:

1. Cut off the tangles with scissors.
2. If you plan to give your cat a full haircut, trim the hair around the nipples and in the groin so as not to injure them later with the clipper.
3. Carefully, bypassing the pre-clipped areas, go over the abdomen with the clipper.
4. After the belly, you can first move to one side, then to the other.
5. At the very end, the back and tail are trimmed.

After cutting, be sure to remove hair from your body. This can be done by wiping the cat with a piece of chamois and blowing it with a hairdryer. Provided she is not afraid of loud noises.

At home:

• Don't try to cut your cat's hair in one go. To avoid unnecessary stress, the procedure can be repeated after a while and finish what you started;
• Don't groom overly active cats. You simply cannot cope with them at home. In the salon, special sedatives are used for this;
• You can't cut your head. Especially the ears and whiskers of cats;
• To avoid unnecessary injuries when grooming at home, trim your cat's nails.

Important to remember:

1. Taiping or colorpoint colors will not look the same after they grow out. The belly and fur along the spine will be several shades darker than it was.
2. Be prepared that it takes a very long time for the fur to be completely renewed - sometimes more than six months. Cats typically shed twice a year. This is how their body prepares for seasonal temperature changes. This means that it is recommended to cut your hair no more than twice a year. If a kitten needs the procedure, it will grow faster.

What to do if the cat is aggressive

When it is possible to prepare for stressful manipulations, it is better to do so. If you know that your pet will be aggressive, take care of his comfort and your peace of mind in advance.

You can put a protective collar on your cat to protect him from being bitten.

According to the doctor's indications, you can give herbal sedatives in advance to make the process easier.

If the condition of the fur is deplorable, there are tangles, and the cat is wild - only in such cases is anesthesia used. This is done on the basis that anesthesia will cause less harm than the existence of tangles with accumulated dirt and parasites. This procedure is carried out only in the clinic under the supervision of a veterinarian!
