Cats groom themselves constantly, but that does not mean they never need help. Long coats tangle, older cats find it harder to reach, and some coats simply shed more than a cat can manage alone.
A simple rule of thumb
- Long-haired cats benefit from monthly grooming.
- Short-haired cats usually do well with grooming every 2 to 3 months.
- Brushing at home in between keeps the coat healthy and helps you notice changes early.
Signs your cat could use a groom
- Mats or clumps, especially behind the ears, under the legs and on the belly
- More loose fur than usual around the house
- A dull or greasy coat
- Difficulty grooming because of age or weight
We only proceed when your cat is calm. If they need a break, we pause.
Grooming should never be a fight
A good groom works at the cat’s pace. At Lazy Cat we never sedate cats for grooming; we rely on trained handling and patience. If a cat is too stressed to finish, we pause and assess, and if needed we reschedule the remaining services for another day at no extra charge.
