Cat Grooming Veterinary Service
OurVet professional cat grooming service is designed to enhance your cat’s health, comfort, and appearance. Grooming not only keeps your cat looking great but also plays a crucial role in maintaining their overall well-being. Our veterinary-supervised grooming ensures that all services are performed with expert care, addressing your cat’s unique needs.
1. Pre-Grooming Health Assessment
- Comprehensive Physical Examination: Before grooming begins, a vet will perform a basic health check to identify any underlying skin conditions, infections, or health concerns that might need special attention during the grooming session.
- Behavioral Evaluation: We assess your cat’s temperament to ensure the grooming experience is as stress-free as possible. This allows us to tailor our approach to each cat’s personality and comfort level.
2. Bathing and Cleaning
- Gentle Bathing: Using cat-safe shampoos, we thoroughly cleanse your cat's coat. Our products are formulated to remove dirt, oils, and allergens while maintaining skin health and coat shine. Special medicated shampoos are available for cats with allergies, skin conditions, or sensitive skin.
- Ear Cleaning: We carefully clean your cat’s ears to remove any wax buildup, dirt, or debris, helping to prevent infections.
- Eye Cleaning: We gently clean around your cat’s eyes to remove discharge or tear stains, ensuring comfort and reducing the risk of eye irritation.
3. Fur and Coat Care
- Brushing and Deshedding: Our team expertly brushes your cat’s coat to remove loose fur, reduce shedding, and prevent matting. For long-haired breeds, we use specialized tools to detangle knots without causing discomfort.
- Mat Removal: For cats with matted fur, we provide safe mat removal techniques, either by gentle brushing or trimming to prevent skin irritation or infection.
- Hair Trimming: We offer breed-specific trimming or haircuts to maintain a tidy appearance, especially for long-haired cats like Persians or Maine Coons. We can also provide sanitary trims to keep the genital area clean and reduce the risk of infections.
4. Nail Clipping and Paw Care
- Nail Trimming: We carefully clip your cat’s nails to a safe length, reducing the risk of overgrown nails, ingrown nails, or damage to furniture and skin.
- Paw Pad Cleaning: We inspect and clean the paw pads, removing dirt and debris, and check for any cuts, irritation, or infections.
5. Skin and Coat Treatment
- Flea and Tick Control: We offer flea and tick prevention treatments during grooming sessions, using vet-recommended products to keep your cat protected from parasites.
- Skin Treatments: For cats with dry skin, dandruff, or allergies, we provide soothing skin treatments that hydrate and restore the skin’s natural balance. Medicated baths are available for cats with specific dermatological needs.
6. Behavioral Grooming Solutions
- Calming Techniques: Our team uses gentle handling and calming techniques to help anxious or nervous cats feel more comfortable during the grooming process. We can also provide mild sedatives if necessary, under veterinary supervision, to ensure a stress-free experience.
- Stress Reduction: Our grooming environment is designed to minimize stress, with quiet rooms, soft lighting, and minimal handling to create a relaxing atmosphere.
7. Post-Grooming Check-Up and Care
- Final Health Assessment: After grooming, a vet will perform a quick follow-up check to ensure your cat’s skin and coat are in optimal condition and that no issues have arisen during the grooming session.
- At-Home Care Guidance: We provide personalized advice for maintaining your cat’s coat and hygiene between grooming sessions, including brushing tips, bathing frequency, and products to use at home.
8. Specialty Grooming Services
- Lion Cuts: For long-haired breeds or cats prone to matting, we offer "lion cuts," which involve trimming the coat to a short length while leaving the head, paws, and tail with longer fur. This style can reduce matting and keep your cat cool in warmer months.
- De-Shedding Treatments: For heavy shedders, we offer special de-shedding treatments that remove excess fur and reduce the amount of shedding at home.
- Show Grooming: If your cat participates in shows, we offer grooming services that meet specific breed standards, ensuring your cat looks their best.
9. Ongoing Grooming Plans
We offer grooming plans that include regular sessions tailored to your cat’s breed, coat type, and health needs. Regular grooming can prevent skin conditions, reduce shedding, and keep your cat comfortable and healthy year-round.
