Cat Grooming at Atlantic Veterinary Hospital in Seattle, WA

Atlantic Veterinary Hospital offers professional cat grooming services in Seattle, WA, tailored to meet the unique needs of each cat. Our experienced groomers understand the importance of gentle handling and safe grooming techniques to ensure a comfortable experience for your feline companion.

The Importance of Cat Grooming

Regular grooming is crucial for maintaining your cat’s health and happiness. It helps prevent matting of the fur, reduces shedding, and prevents skin irritations. Grooming also allows for early detection of skin issues, parasites, or other health concerns that may require veterinary attention.

Our Cat Grooming Services

At Atlantic Veterinary Hospital, we offer a range of grooming services designed to keep your cat looking and feeling their best. Our services include:

Brushing and Detangling: Regular brushing helps prevent matting and reduces shedding, keeping your cat’s fur healthy and shiny.

Lion Clip: Some long-haired cats prefer the freedom and comfort of a shorter coat during warmer months.

Nail Trimming: Trimming your cat’s nails regularly helps prevent them from becoming overgrown and reduces the risk of injury to you and your furniture.

Ear Cleaning: We gently clean your cat’s ears to remove dirt and wax buildup, reducing the risk of ear infections.

Sanitary Trim: Trimming the fur around your cat’s hindquarters helps prevent matting and keeps your cat clean and comfortable.

Flea and Tick Treatment: We offer safe and effective flea and tick treatments to protect your cat from fleas, ticks, heartworms, and other internal and external parasites.

When to Consider Cat Grooming

Cat grooming should be a regular part of your cat’s care routine, but there are certain situations when grooming becomes especially important. These include:

Long-Haired Breeds: Some may appreciate the freedom and comfort of a Lion Clip during warmer months.
Senior Cats: Older cats may have difficulty grooming themselves due to arthritis or other age-related issues, making regular grooming and nail trimming essential.

Medical Conditions: Cats with certain medical conditions, such as obesity or diabetes, may benefit from professional grooming to maintain hygiene.
