Cats are just like humans when it comes to grooming. Common myths like cat does not need grooming because they can groom themselves is absolutely wrong. There is always a need for grooming cats just like dogs. As we need to opt for grooming regularly your pet also need to be cared on a regular interval to stay in the best mood and health.
Cat grooming also creates and strengthens the relationship of the owner and the cat. As far as the regular grooming is concerned, you might not be familiar in how to properly groom your own cat, especially when it is the first time owning a cat, and that is why you can always hire a mobile cat groomer in Singapore.
Engaging a mobile cat grooming service (Likeable Pets) can assist you in a great way to groom your cat at the comfort of your home. There are many benefits when it comes to grooming your cat at your home.
We have listed 3 of the many benefits:
1. Convenience
Convenience is usually the main reason why more and more people are opting for mobile grooming for their cats. Travelling with your cat is a hassle, and not everyone possesses a car in Singapore.
Most cab drivers are usually not willing to pick up customers with pets. Even with a car, you will find that at least half of your precious day will be gone just by visiting to the groomer’s place. Because your groomer might not immediately start grooming your cat upon arrival, so it will be at least a half day of waiting time wasted.
By engaging a mobile groomer, travelling time will be eliminated and mobile groomers immediately start grooming your cat with 1 to 1 attention from the start to the end.
2. Less stressful for the cat
We all know that cats get stressed out easily to new things or environment. Put yourself in your cat’s shoes, imagine being caged up and being transported to a new environment with additional stress from other animals around the pet salon.
Look at how much stress is being accumulated from travelling and to a new environment, and your cat still have to go through the whole grooming process!
With travelling eliminated, it will be less stressful for your cat, and he/she will feel more relaxed when it comes to grooming. In that case, your cat will be more likely to cooperate with grooming.
3. Possible infection from environment or other animals
Cat grooming done at home can also keep your pet away from a possible infection that can come up when you visit a pet salon to groom the cat.
Many pets go in and out of pet salons everyday, and when your cat is exposed to other pets in the salon, there are possible risk of getting infected from diseases or ticks and fleas which will be very troublesome and will potentially cost more when veterinary help is required.
