Cat Grooming
Cats are natural groomers, but even the best self-cleaning routine has its limits. When cats lick their fur, they ingest loose hairs, leading to those dreaded hairballs. This is especially true for long-haired cats who are more prone to tangles. Regular grooming is beneficial for all cats, promoting a healthy coat and skin, and minimizing hairball hassles.
​
But why a bath for a creature that seemingly despises water? A bath does wonders in reducing the greasy build up in their coat, restoring its glossy sheen. And while most cats might shy away from water initially, many settle into the experience once they’re gently introduced to it.
​
And the driers? With the cozy warmth they provide, along with special ear protectors to reduce noise, most cats find this part quite enjoyable.
Post-bath, a thorough combing helps remove additional undercoat, further reducing shedding and the likelihood of hairballs. Plus, regular grooming can be a boon for cat allergy sufferers, as it reduces the dander that often triggers allergies.
​
At The Stress Free Groomer, we offer a range of cat grooming services tailored to your feline friend’s needs: from a de-shedding service for a thorough brush-through, to shaving, nail clipping, dry baths, sanitary and panel clips, and matt removal. Our goal is to ensure your cat not only looks great but feels great too, with a coat that’s as healthy as it is beautiful.
Why are cats expensive to groom?
​
Cats are totally different to groom from dogs, and anyone who owns one would appreciate that they can be very fickle, Different handling techniques are needed.
They come with their own set of sharp knives and quick temper. They have thin skin, and are totally different to grooming dogs, they are more specialised.
Not every groomer wants to tackle cat grooming and for those that do. Their time and skill are a chargeable commodity.
Try doing it yourself and then ask yourself was it not worth paying a professional? If you want to pay Aldi or Lidl prices you don't shop in Waitrose or Marks and Spencer do you?

TESTIMONIALS
“
Prior to Allison’s visit I was trying to tease knots out of Dottie and considering taking the scissors to her out of desperation.
I was turned away from numerous groomers who only deal with dogs and the vet said even minor matting would require an anaesthetic.
I stumbled across Allison’s website whilst trawling the internet for grooming tips before I attempted the dematting job myself!
After a telephone chat Allison arranged to visit me at my home at a mutually convenient time.
Allison was very punctual and friendly and on arrival trimmed Dottie’s claws first and I’m so glad she did! Dottie is a very timid cat but was not keen on certain areas being groomed and clipped .... she put up a very good fight but luckily I managed to keep hold of her .... just.
Allison did an excellent job of chatting and consoling Dottie. She clipped the matted areas and groomed everywhere to ensure all excess fur was removed and Dottie looked beautiful.
Allison is very polite, friendly and knowledgeable and I highly recommend her. I just hope Dottie is more polite next time!
