•••grooming services•••
Cat grooming is often more difficult than it might first appear. Using a comprehensive "fear-free approach," we strive to provide your cat with a low-stress grooming experience. From nail trimming to lion cuts, we want to help you keep your cat looking and feeling his or her best!
We are particularly proud to offer Soft Paws, soft synthetic caps for nails. Soft Paws are a humane alternative to declawing, a practice to which we are strongly opposed. You can bring in your own Soft Paws for us to apply, or you can choose from our stock array of available colors. (Alternatives such as Soft Claws, Purdy Paws, etc. are equally recommended.) More information can be found on the Soft Paws website. You may also wish to read the American Association of Feline Practitioners' client brochure on Alternatives to Declawing.
Our grooming services include the following:
|
♡ nail trimming
♡ Soft Paws application -soft coverings for nails; declawing alternative ♡ bathing -rarely needed for cats, but helpful for certain circumstances (e.g. "skunking") |
♡ lion cuts
-full body shave, usually leaving "mane" and "furry boots" ♡ sanitary shaves -shaving the fur under the tail to keep the rectal area more hygienic ♡ comb-outs |
For simpler services such as nail trims, Soft Paws application, comb-outs, or sanitary shaves, you may use our online scheduler (link below) or call or e-mail us if you prefer. You may also schedule a standard lion cut online, if you believe your cat will be fairly amenable to the procedure. However, if you feel that your cat may be higher-stress or may otherwise require a longer duration of time for grooming, please call or e-mail us in advance, and we will assist you with scheduling. Baths or other more complex grooming services should also be scheduled directly (not online). Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions in advance.
