Cat haircut options

There are several standard options for cat haircuts. All of them are divided into two types: hygienic and model. Since many of the model haircuts are pretentious, it is better to start cutting the animal with simpler shapes, gradually moving on to more complex ones. If the goal is purely decorative, it is recommended to start experiments with the tail.

Tail haircut options:
• Brush – leaving some fur at the tip of the tail. The size and shape of such a brush may vary.
• Broom – repeats the “tassel”, only the tip of the tail is cut straight.
• Herringbone - it turns out when several “brooms” are cut along the entire length of the tail.
• Squirrel - the effect is created by cutting the fur in a circle at the base of the tail.

How to cut cats, how to cut cats?

In the Baluti cat salon, home haircuts are usually done to look like a lion cub and puss in boots . The fur from the body is cut off, the tassel on the tail is trimmed, and the paws and muzzle remain fluffy. The length of the coat is left from 1.5 mm to 5 mm (cat haircut consists of leaving a round head, a tassel on the tail and “socks” on the paws, or you can do a more hygienic haircut, called “Sphinx-style” (whole body cats are cut short, including paws, face and tail). Any cat haircut lasts from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the condition of the fur and the character of the animal. You can view photos of cut cats on our website in the gallery section

Please warn us about your pet's personality.

If your cat is mega aggressive.

Warn in advance if you cannot hold the cat during the procedures.

Then the master will come to you with an assistant.

The cost of a haircut can be increased for large cats, cats over 5 kg at the discretion of the master by 200 rubles.

How is the haircut done?

Surely in the video you have seen that cats wear either boots, socks, or tape on their paws to protect them from the cutter’s veins, as in one well-known network that I trained, and which had a break in orders with cats for 2 years, because their worker’s cat tore his jugular vein and was saved by an ambulance. That’s why they say (we do too) that there is no beast more terrible (meaning more dangerous) than a cat. Even if the cat is calm, if the claws are not neutralized, in the hope and attempt to escape from the table, it can push against the hand, leaving unpleasant consequences. Safety is everything to us. During the procedure, either a muzzle, homemade plastic masks, or veterinary collars are placed on the head to protect against cat bites. Well, the third show off - a haircut option (which the author will never pass by so that people know its hidden essence) - is when masters, without tape and without a protective collar, shoot excerpts of video with their domestic cats, or calm representatives, submitting it to the Internet for sauce working with aggressive cats and the pinnacle of “humanism”. Only during the filming of such fakes, the assistants of such charlatans, who forcibly hold the cats’ paws in leather welding leggings, are removed from the frame for a short time. Still a small thing, the Internet remembers all their early monologues. For example, to the question, what does the tattoo on your hand mean? They answered - nothing, I used it to hide the traces of the scars that the cats left me with their teeth and claws. Here is humanism and the continuation of the comment - now I only cut the hair of nice representatives, and send the aggressive ones under anesthesia - here is humanism in the “square”. On social media Instagram network for such “humanists” I announced a competition - cut someone else’s cat according to your stated words that you can handle any cat amicably, without tape and a collar (humanists offer any means of defense for bullying), and one on one in 60,000 thousand rubles That is: do as you say and you will get 60,000 thousand rubles for one haircut, so what? No applications were received. Further, the “humanists”, booed by adequate groomers, retreated from our page to look for followers hanging their ears on other resources. Only one rule throughout our 30-year career helps us every day - cats always need to be neutralized, no, not a heavy dose of anesthesia, but put on protective shoes or tape on the paws and put on a collar.

There is a “Western option” - this is grooming cats under anesthesia - but this is due to the specific nature of the employee-employer relationship and callous morals. For example, in the West, if a cat bites or scratches an employee, then the owner of the salon sends such a poor fellow to sick leave, which is often expensive even due to the fact that there is no one to replace the worker during his absence. So they inject anesthesia left and right. Cat grooming was invented in Moscow. The Westerners are 20 years behind and have not reached the level of development (not to mention my equipment) at which they can manage like Moscow, Domodedovo, or, simply put, Russian masters with cats. Apparently in America, in the West, veterinary medicine is of better quality in terms of sedation, so they solve all problems through sleeping pills. Then what to do if the cat is 13 years old or 17 years old? After all, anesthesia for a centenarian may be the last. Therefore, only the system, my system, gives effective results when working with any cat (aggressive, calm, young or elderly).

Cat grooming itself is easy in terms of hairstyle. We cut off the body with a clipper, leaving hair on the paws, a mane on the head, and either a tassel, half or a whole tail on the tail. The issue in grooming cats comes down to the ability to find a common language with a cat, which is provided to me by my own unique method of grooming indoor lion cubs, which I developed in the past for 5 years and which works flawlessly for everyone. That is, they bring me to me and say - our pussy was torn by the groomer, the veterinarian, or the owner herself, can you handle it? And they are very surprised when the cat lies on my table and grooms itself more calmly than calmly. Let me note that in our salons there are people who have been trained by me for a long time and they also cut cats of any aggressiveness better than anyone in Russia using my unique method, who will only need your slight help during the haircut. Come, come, call, we are happy to help you.

Benefits after a haircut.

I have been grooming cats for 25 years, and grooming for almost 30 years. So to speak, I was a witness at her birthday. If you didn’t know me until now, then it’s my modesty and desire to work and not to promote myself that was the reason for this, and the fact why we are still not related). I will say one thing with confidence - you know my work. In 2002, I developed and performed my own cascade hairstyle (stripes on the back of cats and spirals on the tail). Then, with the light hand of Ksenia Novikova (the group Blestyashchie) in a TV show, at her suggestion, the cascade acquired the name “little dragon” (she is my client). Then someone extended the name dinosaur and then transferred my idea and hairstyle to a Yorkie and called it “chinchilla”. I’m sure you’ve seen these hairstyles, and if you’ve seen them, it means you’re familiar with me.

Animal coloring - how did I make it the first in Russia? One man led me to the computer, and I was “plowing” on the road and showed me photoshopped pictures of cats painted by two IT specialists from the USA and asked - can you do that? I said that I couldn’t do this, I’m not an expert in Photoshop and I couldn’t do this live on cats, but I liked the idea of ​​​​changing the image and I decided to find paints for animals, which I did. My childhood friend lives in Japan and I sent my request and search there. And I found the PetEsthe campaign, which, through its representative Hiroshi Nishioka, who came to Moscow to meet with me, began selling products to me, and I sold animal coloring in Russia, and began selling paints to colleagues. This was 2005 - 2007. I won’t say anything about the first shavings and 3D drawings, otherwise I sketched out the fluff, but I also brought this into the domestic type of creativity.

So we have met now. My experience is enormous, my observations and knowledge are material for scientific literature, so I write confidently about the advantages, because these are long-term observations, and now I will list some advantages of cat haircuts.

1. No house cleaning.
2. Cats' fur improves after a haircut. It becomes more rigid, not so much like a wire, but just a little bit. To understand this fact, remember that youthful fuzz is on your mustache and remember the difference after shaving. Well, such a feature has been noticed many times. A cat comes all matted for a haircut, and she has some kind of fluff (remember Yorkies and Spitz dogs when they were puppies, but the cat is an adult without a puppy and after the haircut you look at the next meeting, and there are only one or two mats, and the fur is more vibrant and elastic.
3. For allergy sufferers, the number of triggers decreases significantly. The fur itself is not an allergen, but the contents on it (saliva, grease) are a factor, and if a sheared cat has zero hair on the floor, then a shedding cat will have the allergen in the form of fur lying all over the house. It's like poplar fluff. It itself is not considered an allergen, but the fact that it collects pollen from birch, ragweed and other allergy-causing plants by “tumbleweed” makes it a strong accumulator of allergies. That's how it is with cats.
4. In summer, a haircut is a great escape from the stuffiness. I have repeatedly heard words about the same thing - “You know, before the haircut, my pussy didn’t even want to move, it lay on the tiles in the bathroom, it’s cooler, but after the haircut it started playing, became active, like a kitten. Here's another plus for you.
5. A short-haired cat is of no interest to fleas. The sweetest places have been cut off and you can’t stay there, and there are only bones on the head and paws - you won’t get enough sweet blood - that’s what the fleas said and left the cat.
6. The same is with ticks - they will not be able to remain unnoticed on the cat’s body during the summer season. The main thing is to visually inspect the cat in time for their presence.

I will describe a case from 20 years ago, but briefly, because you may have already read it on our website. I ask the client. How did you decide to groom your cats? I didn’t decide, life forced me. My cat is sterile and a free bird in the country. I meet him in 57 days, lying on the porch. I pick up your sweat and maggots are crawling out of it. We went to the vet and saved him. But before the operation, they cut the required area, and that’s all, and then the doctor said if you want to cut it completely, then look for advertisements in the newspaper. And they found it. Chain of events - a cat in tangles - summer, heat - they got tired and the cat began to gnaw them out, microtrauma with teeth - a fly flies up to the smell of blood and lays larvae in the body - maggots. It’s good that they noticed it in time, otherwise they would have eaten the cat.

This is just a rough idea, there are many more like this and every owner will tell you about some other plus, but I will limit myself to this small list.

Express - shedding for cats.

Its description is on another page of the site and is carried out by us, without any restrictions and inventing fakes on this topic. Everything is fine, everything is fine, definitely according to the budget it’s a year more expensive than a haircut. It may not suit everyone, but if your wallet allows it, then you’re welcome to come to us for it.

Myths about alopecia.

The widespread rumor about the appearance of alopecia after cutting cats, Spitz and others with clippers is not entirely a myth, but is the result of knowledge about proper work lost over the years of teaching in schools. He is especially loved by haters - this benefits them. Alopecia X is discussed in detail on our YouTube channel “Axiom of Grooming” and Instagram account @laicats.ru and there is no sense or resource to go into details on this topic, since this topic is long. Remember one thing - alopecia after haircut is a hormonal imbalance and incorrect procedure for working with animals. For example: you yelled at a Spitz, beat him and now you have alopecia - run away from such masters, and I’ll wrap up my work and wait for your calls on the phone numbers listed on the site. By the way, for information. We were the first in Russia to create a transparent work zone in 2008, and now this know-how is being adopted by everyone, which allows you to watch the manipulations of specialists and not worry about anything.

When can cats be groomed?

People often ask this question. We would like to respond with the experience of thousands of people who have contacted us and many years of experience in our salon. You don't need to look at the season outside the window at all, since cats live for the most part in warm apartments or houses. In the summer, when you are at the dacha, you don’t have to worry about your cat (it’s warm). In winter, being in an apartment, everyone in the house has heating. Many people think that cats are not very smart animals and they walk on their own. Believe our experience - if a cat has done it in such a way that no one expects obedience from her, and the person only serves her by feeding, cleaning the tray, the room, then apparently something is wrong here. Apparently cats are so smart that they subjugate their owners without much difficulty. They are excellent experts in human psychology and easily understand human speech and the subject of conversation (confirmed more than once). And of course, the only issue that they do not understand is the grooming of cats. But knowing all their tricky places, we have been successfully working with them for 30 years all year round. Seasonality does not affect frequency in any way. Therefore, knowing the experience of other people, you now know exactly when to contact us. For 30 years there has not been a single case of a cat dying in the winter. And what’s more, they can easily find a place to stay warm if the heating in the apartment suddenly turns off. It could be the computer processor, it could be under the blanket, and so on. So you don’t have to worry about these topics at all. What you need to worry about the most is when your cat becomes covered in tangles, which can later cause a lot of harm.

Thank you for reading to the end.

Pet behavior

Most hygiene procedures can become a real stress for a cat if it has not been accustomed to them since childhood. Therefore, from the first months the kitten needs to be accustomed to grooming procedures. You need to periodically comb him, trim his nails, clean his eyes and ears.

All this should be done carefully, without using force, otherwise the pet will be afraid of these procedures in the future. If you behave correctly with the animal, over time it will get used to it and will be patient with all manipulations.

If the animal is very nervous during the grooming process, you should not do anything by force. You cannot use force, and even more so you should refuse to use anesthesia. Some salons use it. Of course, in a dream the animal does not see or feel anything, and therefore does not stress during the haircut. However, anesthesia negatively affects the health of the animal. If the cat had hidden pathologies, it may not wake up at all.

Before grooming, it is advisable to trim your cat's claws. If she suddenly gets scared and starts to struggle, this will help avoid injury. It should also be noted that haircutting is a very long procedure that can take up to several hours. Not every animal, even the calmest one, can endure this. Therefore, it is desirable for the owner to be nearby. He will be able to distract and calm the pet if necessary.

When is a cat's haircut necessary?

There are situations when a four-legged friend really needs to cut his fur coat. Let's look at the main ones:

1. 
   When a cat has a large number of mats of different sizes. Combing the animal in such cases may not always give results, since the tangles very quickly form dense wool balls, which are easier to cut out. In addition to being unsightly, tangles cause discomfort and health problems for your pet. By tightening the skin, they interfere with blood flow and cause itching. After all, by their nature, cats are very clean; they will try to get rid of the formed tangles on their own, scratching and gnawing out the lumps. But this is dangerous for the pet - he may accidentally swallow a hairball, which can block the passage in the digestive tract or cause severe vomiting.

2. Skin disease. It can be recognized by the appearance of weeping ulcers on the skin. The thick coat will make it difficult to treat with medications and will not provide adequate ventilation.
3. Long molting. It can be caused by various reasons from skin problems to metabolic disorders. It is worth consulting a doctor in a timely manner.
4. One of the family members has a wool allergy. But this method of getting rid of wool in the house is ineffective. After cutting, the amount of hair will decrease in volume, but if a person has an acute allergic reaction to wool, then the number of hairs on the pet’s body does not matter. We will have to look for other ways to combat allergies.

There are some cats that physically cannot take care of themselves. This is mainly due to age. Their fur will look dirty and unkempt, so it's best to keep it trimmed.

A couple of gentle words about character...

It can be argued that the character of British cats is ideal. They are aristocratic, devoid of any aggression, friendly and independent. For those who are often absent from the house, they are an excellent option, since they will not get bored in the absence of the owner. Connoisseurs of peace and comfort will also appreciate the British: they are calm and balanced, and sometimes so much so that they can be associated with a piece of exquisite interior design. It is worth noting that this character trait does not mean that the cat does not need attention. How you raise a kitten will largely determine the character of an adult cat. The British have a fantastic natural intelligence and will not forgive the lack of proper attention on your part. But if you manage to win the trust of a Briton, then it’s hard to wish for a better friend and companion!

Nuances of procedures

Grooming a cat is one of the key stages of grooming. At the same time, an unenlightened layman may not know some points that are important to pay attention to. For example, you cannot cut an animal’s head or trim hair from its ears and whiskers, since there is a high probability of damage to the whiskers . In addition, you cannot completely cut the hair from the tail, because cats constantly gnaw on it, and therefore can cause serious injury to themselves.

During grooming, a specialist often reveals the presence of problems such as incipient dermatitis, increased greasiness of the coat, and vitamin deficiency. As a rule, the cat stands on the table during grooming. Other “clients” are placed on their side, and after treatment – ​​on the other side. After grooming, cats are bathed and then, at the client’s request, they take care of their ears, claws and eyes.

Rarely do animals behave too calmly: this is typical of those cats who adore having their fur brushed, constantly stroked and cherished. Often, when trying to trim their fur, cats become aggressive. This is a natural protective reaction, and therefore the groomer sometimes needs an assistant to hold the animal while its hair is cut. However, there are restrictions that exclude some stages of hygienic manipulations.

For example, you should not cut or bathe an animal if the room is cool, as the pet may catch a cold. You cannot abruptly perform the entire set of procedures if the animal is not accustomed to them. You need to do the preparation gradually: you can start with short visits, treating the cat at each stage of grooming. You can skip something, allowing your pet to get used to the environment and manipulations, so as not to provoke stressful situations in the future.

To reduce a cat's resistance to grooming, some salon technicians use muscle relaxants. The drugs do not immobilize the animal, but reduce its activity, as a result of which the pet’s reactions become inhibited. Essentially, the cat is given an injection after choosing the right type of drug and the required dosage.

After this, the specialist monitors the “client’s” condition, however, such a procedure can negatively affect the pet’s health.

Other groomers use a leash, putting it on the cat while grooming. Still others prefer a special bag-retainer, which simplifies various manipulations by a specialist. Bags are used to simplify injections into any of the limbs, care for the ears and eyes. In essence, this product is somewhat like a straitjacket for a violent pet.

It is worth noting that not all stages of grooming need to be performed constantly. For example, it is not recommended to do a haircut more than once every 3 years. In addition, no matter how much you want to make your cat special, you need to understand that this is, first of all, a last resort, and not a change in appearance through a model haircut.

It’s one thing when a cat is cut for medical reasons, but it’s quite another thing for its own amusement, because the animal can take a long time to recover from the stress “given” by its owner.

Necessary equipment

To carry out a set of procedures use :

• special combs;
• shampoo for cats and cats;
• nail clippers or nail scissors;
• cotton pads or napkins;
• ear cleansers;
• scissors or a wool clipper.

In addition, hydrogen peroxide and cotton wool should be on the workbench just in case. If the cat has long hair, fine-toothed combs, massage brushes, and gloves are used to remove loose hairs.

What is cat grooming?

Grooming is a set of procedures aimed at bringing the surface of a cat’s body into hygienic and cosmetic order.

In other words, this is a haircut - a process during which excess, too long hair is removed from the animal.

Professional grooming is performed by a specialist who uses specially selected tools for this purpose, such as:

• Hair cutters for cats;
• Massage brushes for grooming;
• Combs;
• Special hair dryers for styling animal hair;
• Rotary cars;
• Puffers;
• Furminators;
• Stripping knives;
• Wool rake;
• Thinning scissors;
• Nail clippers.

In almost every city there is a huge number of special salons that offer professional grooming services for any breed of cat.

Furminator for removing excess hair

Some breeders, in order to save money, learn grooming themselves by reading special literature and attending relevant courses.

Types of grooming

Grooming a cat is not as trivial a process as it might seem at first glance.

There are several types of this cosmetic procedure, each of which is designed to bring the pet into proper shape in accordance with the owner’s budget.

So, the types of grooming are as follows:

This type of grooming is the most popular and is done most often due to its practicality.

The purpose of hygienic grooming is to make it easier to keep your cat clean and tidy.

In this type of haircut, the pet's fur is trimmed evenly, the claws are trimmed with special nail clippers, and the excess hair between the pads and toes is cut off.

In addition, the groomer removes excess hair from the cat's ears and tidies up the hair near the genitals and anus.

• Home grooming;

Home grooming is mainly carried out by those cat owners who do not have a lot of free time to constantly care for their furry pet.

With this haircut, the cat's fur is trimmed slightly for a neater, neater appearance.

Plus, shorter coats are easier to maintain.

As the name suggests, this type of grooming is used mainly to prepare the animal for a specific exhibition.

The main task of a groomer who performs an exhibition haircut on a cat is to hide possible shortcomings and highlight the best qualities of the animal.

Grooming your cat improves its health and behavior

Varieties

Cat grooming can be classified into two types: hygienic and exhibition. The first type of care is aimed at ensuring and maintaining the cleanliness and health of the cat, giving the pet a well-groomed appearance. The care complex includes 7 different procedures:

• combing your pet's fur;
• swimming in warm water;
• wool cutting;
• cleaning ears;
• trimming long nails;
• eye wash;
• brushing your teeth

Exhibition grooming differs from regular grooming in that it is designed to bring a domestic cat to a certain standard established for a given breed. It is carried out by a professional groomer, paying more attention to the animal’s fur. This type of grooming is necessary mainly for cats that take part in exhibitions.

In this case, the master performs the haircut in such a way that the cat receives a minimum of unpleasant sensations.

Specifics

Due to the nature of cats, the use of water and any manipulation of the fur causes nervousness and aggression in them. The master must be a true virtuoso of his craft so that the procedure does not cause serious stress for your pet.

The hair is trimmed selectively: the ears and face are not trimmed at all, and the tail is cut off by no more than two-thirds, leaving a tassel. If the cat is a colorpoint cat, cutting is not recommended, since the new, darker, overgrown fur on the belly and back significantly changes the color of the animal.

Step-by-step instruction

It is possible to perform a simple haircut on an animal at home. The main thing is to prepare properly and know the simple rules. Wear thick gloves and have your assistant do the same. Place a towel at hand (in case you need to wipe the cat), tools, peroxide and cotton wool.

1. Secure the cat on the work surface. It is best if the pet lies on its side. Your helper should press the cat's back and front paws to the surface.
2. If you have not yet gotten rid of tangles, the time to do it is now. Try to separate the lump into fibers, which you then need to comb with a fine-toothed comb. If the tangle is large, cut it out with a tangle cutter or blunt-tipped scissors.
3. Before grooming, comb your cat well and use a conditioner spray to remove any tangled hair and make the procedure more comfortable.
4. After this, take small scissors or a trimmer and carefully go through the genital area, armpits, nipples and between the fingers.
5. When the difficult stage is completed, take up the machine. Use a 3mm or larger comb and cut the fur first on the sides, then on the back and finally on the belly. Follow the growth of the fur. Lubricate the attachment with blade spray as needed.
6. You can trim the fur on the paws with scissors.
7. If desired, you can use thinning scissors at the end of the procedure.

If you see that your pet is tired or nervous, take a break, calm him down and give him a treat.

I really liked the video about how to groom a cat at home, where the author clearly shows how you can cope with this difficult task in 15 minutes. I hope it will be useful to you too:

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!

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. .

Pros and cons of grooming

The main advantages of grooming British cats are compliance with cat “fashion” and minimizing the grooming procedure. As for the minuses, there are many more of them:

1. Skin without hair becomes overcooled, overheats and dries out.
2. The structure of the hair changes - after cutting it becomes thin and less elastic.
3. Wool and undercoat grow simultaneously, which is contrary to natural processes. When shedding, they do not fall out together; the undercoat changes more often.
4. After a haircut, a temporary loss of orientation is observed, which is caused by the removal of the whiskers located on the cat’s body.

In the examples with the British breed, all of the above events can have negative consequences. These cats have a complex character and attempts to force a pet to do something against its will are met with hostility.

Important rules to know

Before starting the procedure, read the rules for its implementation.

• The paws, tail and head are never cut to zero. There are receptors there that allow the pet to navigate in space.
• The longer the machine runs, the hotter it gets. The cat may get burned.
• Do approaches for 10-15 minutes and take breaks, giving your pet time to rest.
• Leave at least 3 mm of fur on the skin, and preferably 1-2 cm.
• Do not press the blade close to the animal's body, as this may injure it.
• Be sure to lubricate the blade so it glides through the fur rather than tearing it.
• 2-3 days before the procedure, bathe your pet (read how to wash a cat in a separate article). However, if there are mats on your body that cannot be removed, postpone bathing.

If your cat sheds a lot or her fur is matted

You should know that grooming your cat is a great way to get rid of mats, as well as daily scratching and shedding. After cutting, you will see an improvement in the quality of your pet's coat.

Note! Our pet salon provides haircuts for cats of all breeds!

Grooming is a necessary care procedure, especially for long-haired breeds of animals. Why?

A cat leaving fur all over the house not only creates an excuse for endless cleaning, but also provokes an exacerbation of allergies in humans. Long hair, despite the clean animal’s own efforts, still rolls into tangles, tightening the skin. This causes discomfort and pain for the cat when moving; this can be easily prevented by resorting to this service. A well-groomed and beautifully groomed cat is not only a guarantee of a clean and safe home, but also a worthy cause for pride for its owner.

It is absolutely impossible to tidy up your furry pet’s fur on your own without compromising its beauty, and here’s why.

Cat grooming: features of the procedure

Share with your friends

Animal care professionals know what grooming is. However, recently this term has become vague, if not completely unclear. Some people, for example, believe that this is what they call grooming pets. Let's look at the nuances of the term, the features of the procedure, and find out who needs it, as well as how it affects the behavior of the animal.
