Cat Grooming

Although our name Doggie-Styles suggests dogs, we now also love to groom cats!

We completed our training at A-Z Animal Care in Ashford, Kent, experts in Cat grooming.  Our training was excellent in understanding the specifics of a cats coat and skin health and nail care.

We understand that cats and dogs don’t tend to mix well so we alway book cats in when there are no other dogs in the salon to keep any stress to an absolute minimum. 

We will treat your with absolute kindness and care during their visit to us, and to ensure a low stress environment for your pet we take a number of steps:

  •  We always use two groomers for each cat – one to hold and talk to the cat to keep them calm, and one to groom
  •  We treat the room, the treatment area, the cat and the equipment with calming scents to minimise stress
  •  We are never heavy handed – we will not scruff your cat during a groom
  •  We give your cat regular breaks during the groom to prevent them getting overwhelmed
  •  If your cat really doesn’t want to be groomed, we will not force them

WHAT SERVICES DO WE OFFER?

FULL GROOM

Long-haired breeds and cats that struggle to groom themselves properly will benefit from this service. As most cats are notorious shedders, we seek to fully remove all dead coat from your pet so that human laps covered in fur are a thing of the past, as well as making your cat’s coat shiny, fresh and tangle-free. Regular grooming helps to prevent matting too, which can be uncomfortable or even painful for your pet. This groom includes:

  •  Brushing for removal of undercoat
  •  Detangle and demat smaller masses
  •  Nail trimming
  • Face and ear clean
  •  Coat conditioner

This is ideal for all long-haired breeds including Persians, Ragdolls, Maine Coons, etc.

BATHING

For those cats who enjoy a bath or are a bit smelly, bathing can follow a full groom after all dead undercoat has been removed. Bathing may be necessary to deal with paint, tar or other sticky smelly messes, or it can simply be a treat for extra soft and clean fur.

EARS AND FACE

For cats whose faces get dirty, either through feeding or the buildup of dirt and debris around from the nose or eyes, we can clean them up with this standalone treatment.  Special cleansing wipes for cats are used to to gently wipe away stains on their fur and clean out their ears.  Your cat we leave looking fresh and clean.

NAILS

For those cats that require assistance in keeping their nails short we can quickly and gently trim them down with no discomfort or stress to your pet. Nails are included with a full or while-you-wait as a standalone treatment.

DEMATTING

Ensuring that minor mats and tangles are brushed out is an important part of a groom because, aesthetics aside, allowing mats to build up provides a great hiding spot for parasites and can cause soreness and skin complaints in your cat. If your cat’s coat has larger mats it may require a different approach to our full groom. We try to brush out mats where possible but this is sometimes not sufficient to remove larger masses and it must be clipped away instead, especially where mats are close to the skin. 

LION TRIMS

Some owners like a Lion Trim and this is a service we offer to those that require it.
