Cat Grooming & Hygiene

Cat Grooming & Hygiene at Angelus Pet Hospital

Even fastidious cats sometimes need professional help. Overgrown nails, impacted ear wax, painful mats against the skin, and sanitary issues after surgery or during illness are common. What seems cosmetic is often necessary medical maintenance.

Our team performs these services using calm handling techniques and minimal restraint whenever possible. For cats with severe mats, anxiety, or health limitations we can discuss safe sedation options so the procedure stays comfortable and low-stress. We always check skin and ears for underlying problems at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I trim my cat's nails?

Every 3–6 weeks for most indoor cats. Overgrown nails can snag, split, or grow into the paw pad. We can show you how to do maintenance trims at home.

Do you sedate cats for grooming?

Only when necessary for safety and comfort. Many cats do fine awake with good handling; for severe cases or painful mats we offer safe, short sedation.
