  • Q. Why do you bath the cats?
    Contrary to common belief, domestic cats do need baths especially all long haired breeds. Cats tend to have a lot of oils in their coat which collects dust and debris.
    Cats also have dander which build up on the skin and, just like us, these need to be removed in order to maintain healthy skin and hair. If not removed, bacteria can grow on the skin which, in time, may cause a host of issues.
  • Q. During the grooming, can you just shave or give my cat a lion clip with no bath?
    Yes, but I prefer not to! Clipping a dirty, unbrushed coat can and will cause issues. The dead coat needs to be removed form the hair follicles. If left in place, it damages the follicle and tends to cause skin problems.
  • Q. Do you do lion clips?
    Yes, I don't like to clip short haired, triple coated or a coat that is smooth with a shine to it (guard hair). When this type of coat gets clipped, it can damage the hair shaft of the guard hair which can lead to alopecia. If the coat is badly matted, we might not have a choice and be forced to clip it but a bath and massage tends to help preserve the follicle somewhat.
