Cats Need Regular Bathing
and Grooming
Regular grooming helps manage common fur problems that can be highly troublesome for cats and cat owners alike, including matting and knotting, excess shed, messy behinds, dandruff, allergies, and hairballs. All these issues can usually be traced back to excess oil in the undercoat and are addressed and remedied by regular grooming and bathing. Even though many cats are fastidious and do self-groom, cats should not be asked to consume what’s on their coat by relying solely on self-grooming. Cats use their tongue to self-groom and therefore consume what they clean. Grooming and bathing helps cats by preventing them from consuming excess fur and contaminants.

Purina has created several formulas including kitten and adult cat formulations.
Zuzu is a very special cat and we’re honored to be able to share his success story. We cared for Zuzu several times so we weren’t surprised when his mom called to reserve our boarding services, but I could tell from the tone in her voice that something was different this time. Mom sounded stressed.

She was worried something happened to Zuzu and that the boarding house was avoiding her instead of telling her what was wrong. This was all speculation because mom just didn’t know without details from the boarding house. Click Here to Continue
