Hair today, gone tomorrow

Grooming plays an important role in maintaining animal health.

Brushing helps to remove excess dead hair, prevents the coat from becoming matted and developing associated skin problems.

Brush your long-haired cat every other day. If necessary, trim your dog's facial hair to prevent eye irritation.

Check pets' ears regularly and clean as required.

Bathing may be required but should be done as infrequently as possible as over-bathing can damage a pet's coat by removing natural oils.

You should always check your pets' claws and if they are overgrown, trim them.
