Keeping your fur babies clean is not just essential for their health; it’s essential for keeping your furniture clean! Your pets are likely to shed more as the weather warms up and some can benefit from a fresh cut, while others simply need a thorough brushing.
Use our tips below to keep your fur babies clean and cuddle-ready.
1. Pain free Brushing
Brushing is important as it helps to remove your dog’s loose undercoat and prevent matting or knots. If you have a long-haired dog, the risk of snagging with a standard brush can make grooming a painful experience. Choose a brush with pins that rotate for deep penetration without pulling. The Daro Floating Universal Rake is a great option.
2. De-shedding for Cats
After growing a thick coat for winter, your cats could use a little help getting rid of the loosening fur when spring arrives. De-shedding your cat helps to reduce hairballs, prevents matting and keeps their skin healthy. Consider the Furminator Short Hair Deshedding Tool for Cats and find more options in store at your nearest Queen Pet Shop.
3. Quick, Convenient Brushing
If you have short-haired pets and aren’t concerned about snagging fur, brushing is still essential to help keep their skin healthy and remove excess hair. You also want to avoid fur all over your clothes and furniture and short hair tends to stick. The Daro Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush has pins that retract, so the fur you’ve brushed off slides off easily.
4. Nail Trimming for Cats and Dogs
Keep your cat’s nails trimmed, especially if they remain indoors and don’t get the chance to wear their nails down naturally. Overgrown nails can cause painful snags on carpets and do serious damage to your furniture. Ingrown nails are also a risk that need to be managed to avoid painful infections.
Dog nails also need to be trimmed to keep their paws healthy and prevent a variety of issues. Long nails can cause joint stress, especially in older dogs – learn more here. Help your dogs avoid snags and broken nails by trimming them regularly.
The Daro Professional Nail Trimmer comes with a safety tab to reduce the chances of causing bleeds. Chat to the team at your nearest Queen Pet Shop for guidance on how to trim your pets’ nails safely.
