Brushing Your Cat
  • Brushing
  • Nail Clipping
  • Bathing
  • Dental Needs
  • Regular sessions with a brush or comb will help keep your pet’s hair in good condition by removing dirt, spreading natural oils throughout her coat, preventing tangles and keeping her skin clean and irritant-free.

    If your cat has short hair, you only need to brush once a week:

    • First, use a metal comb and work through her fur from head to tail.
    • Next, use a bristle or rubber brush to remove dead and loose hair.
    • Be extra-gentle near her chest and belly.

    If your cat has long hair, you will need to brush every day:

    • Start by combing her belly and legs; be sure to untangle any knots.
    • Next, brush her fur in an upward motion with a bristle or rubber brush.
    • To brush her tail, make a part down the middle and brush the fur out on either side.
