Rabbit grooming and haircut in Kyiv

Gentle care for your fluffy friend – safety and beauty in every procedure.

6 compelling reasons to book your rabbit at our grooming salon network

Gentle and stress-free grooming:
Rabbits are very sensitive creatures, so we provide a calm, gentle care routine without unnecessary stress. Our groomers work softly, avoiding sudden movements, using special techniques that help your rabbit feel comfortable during the procedures.
Professional brushing for a healthy coat:
Rabbits are prone to matting, especially long-haired breeds, and they groom themselves, often swallowing fur, which can lead to digestive issues. We carefully remove excess fur, preventing mats and reducing the risk of hairballs in the stomach.
Safe nail trimming:
Rabbit nails grow quickly, and if not trimmed, they can cause pain and even lead to paw problems. We know how to trim nails properly without touching sensitive areas, ensuring your pet stays comfortable.
Ear cleaning for infection prevention:
Rabbits can accumulate dirt in their ears, sometimes leading to inflammation. We gently clean their ears using special products that do not cause irritation, keeping your long-eared friend healthy.
Special conditions for rabbits:
Unlike regular grooming salons that work with dogs and cats, we have tailored conditions specifically for rabbit care. We use silent tools, non-slip surfaces, and soft towels to ensure your rabbit feels calm and secure.
Caring approach and home care recommendations:
After the procedure, we will guide you on how to properly care for your rabbit at home: how to brush, maintain its fur, trim nails, and clean ears. You’ll receive professional advice to help keep your bunny healthy between grooming visits.

Explore a detailed description of each procedure included in the full rabbit care package:

Nail trimming:
Rabbit nails grow quickly, and without natural wear, they can cause discomfort or even lead to paw problems. In our salon, the procedure is performed carefully and stress-free using special safe nail clippers. The groomer precisely determines the length to avoid cutting the blood vessels (quick), especially in light or dark nails. After trimming, nails are smoothed with a file or grinder if needed.

Ear cleaning:
Rabbits are very sensitive to ear health, especially lop-eared breeds, which are prone to wax and dirt buildup. Ear cleaning is done gently using soft lint-free wipes and special products that do not cause irritation. The groomer also checks for inflammation or mites and provides home care recommendations.

Eye cleaning:
Rabbits may experience tear stains or minor dirt buildup around the eyes, especially in long-haired breeds. We use special hypoallergenic lotions that gently cleanse the area around the eyes, removing tear stains and dust. This prevents irritation and the formation of tear streaks.

Fur brushing:
Even short-haired rabbits shed and require regular brushing to prevent fur ingestion, which can lead to digestive issues. Long-haired breeds, such as Angora rabbits, need frequent brushing to avoid matting. We use soft combs and special brushes that gently remove excess fur without harming the skin.

Bathing:
Bathing is only done when absolutely necessary, as rabbits are highly sensitive to cold and stress. If a bath is needed (e.g., due to severe dirt buildup), we use warm water, mild hypoallergenic shampoos without fragrances, and gently dry the fur with soft towels. A hairdryer is not used to avoid stress.

Hygienic and/or stylish haircut:
A hygienic trim is done in areas where fur may interfere with the rabbit (such as around the tail and paws). A stylish haircut is available upon request, taking into account the breed and fur structure. We use safe, low-noise clippers to minimize stress for the animal.

Fur polishing:
To keep your rabbit’s fur looking healthy and well-groomed, we apply special polishing treatments. These make the fur soft, shiny, and less prone to matting. This is especially beneficial for long-haired rabbits to reduce tangles.

Perfume application (optional):
To complete the grooming experience, we offer special hypoallergenic pet perfumes. These have a light, non-intrusive scent and do not cause irritation. Perfume application is only done upon the owner’s request.

Answers to common questions from rabbit owners:

Do rabbits need their nails trimmed?

Yes, absolutely! In the wild, nails wear down naturally, but in a home environment, they can overgrow, causing discomfort and even paw problems. Trimming the nails every 3–4 weeks helps prevent injuries.

Can rabbits be bathed?

Bathing a rabbit is an extreme measure, as they are highly sensitive to stress and cold. If their fur gets dirty, it's best to clean it locally with a damp wipe or dry shampoo. Full bathing should only be done in exceptional cases.

Do short-haired rabbits need brushing?

Yes, even short-haired rabbits need brushing, especially during shedding periods. This prevents them from swallowing fur, which can accumulate in the stomach and cause serious digestive issues.

How often should a rabbit's ears be cleaned?

Regularly check your rabbit’s ears and clean them as needed to remove wax and dirt. Lop-eared breeds require special care since their ear canals have poorer ventilation, which can lead to infections.

Can a rabbit be shaved completely?

No, excessive trimming can disrupt natural thermoregulation. Long-haired rabbits can be trimmed to a comfortable length to prevent matting, but they should never be completely shaved.

Can regular shampoo be used for bathing a rabbit?

No, human shampoos or even pet shampoos for cats and dogs can be too harsh. Only special hypoallergenic shampoos without fragrances are suitable for rabbits.

Why is my rabbit losing fur?

Shedding is a natural process, but excessive fur loss may indicate stress, poor nutrition, or skin conditions. Regular grooming helps maintain a healthy coat. If your rabbit is shedding excessively and you want to reduce loose fur around your home, our salons offer an express shedding treatment.

How can I help my rabbit feel comfortable during grooming?

It’s essential for grooming to be gentle and stress-free. In our salon, we work with smooth movements, avoid loud tools, and allow the rabbit time to adjust. At home, it’s also important to get them used to brushing from a young age.

What do rabbits eat?

Rabbits are herbivores, and their diet should primarily consist of hay, which supports proper digestion and dental wear. They can also eat fresh vegetables, leafy greens (such as parsley, dill, and spinach), and specially formulated pellet food. Fruits should only be given in small amounts as treats. It’s crucial to avoid sweets, bread, potatoes, and starchy foods, as they can harm their health.

How long do pet rabbits live?

Pet rabbits typically live between 7 to 12 years with proper care, a balanced diet, and regular veterinary check-ups. Some rabbits can even reach up to 15 years if they receive excellent care and attention.

Rabbits – One of the Most Charming Pets

Rabbits are among the most charming pets. They are gentle, playful, and their big eyes and velvety fur can melt any heart. Rabbits are known for their sociability, quickly getting used to their owners and even learning to respond to their names. However, these fluffy companions require not only love but also special care, as their fur, nails, and overall health demand regular attention.

How Did Rabbits Become Pets?

The domestication of rabbits began thousands of years ago. The earliest records of rabbit domestication date back to Ancient Rome, where they were bred as livestock. However, the real domestication of rabbits as pets began in medieval Europe. Monks in French and Spanish monasteries were the first to raise rabbits in enclosed areas, noticing that these animals adapted well to living near humans.

By the 19th century, rabbits had become popular among the aristocracy in Britain and France. Selective breeding programs led to the development of various decorative breeds. This trend spread across Europe and later to the United States.

Today, rabbits are no longer just farm animals. They have become beloved urban pets, living in apartments and homes where they receive the utmost care.

Rabbit Breed Diversity: From Miniatures to True Giants

There are over 50 officially recognized rabbit breeds worldwide, varying in size, color, fur texture, and care requirements.

Dwarf Breeds (up to 1.5 kg)

These are the most popular among pet owners due to their miniature size and playful nature. They are ideal for apartment living.

  • Netherland Dwarf Rabbit – Small, weighing 800-1200 g, very active and curious.
  • Mini Lop – Recognizable by its adorable floppy ears, very calm and affectionate.
  • Lionhead Rabbit – Has a distinctive mane-like fur around its face.

Medium Breeds (2-5 kg)

These rabbits have a sturdier build and dense fur that requires regular care.

  • Dutch Rabbit – Compact and friendly, perfect for families with children.
  • Rex Rabbit – Has a unique velvety coat, extremely soft to the touch.
  • Angora Rabbit – A well-known breed with long, soft fur that requires frequent brushing.

Large Breeds (5 kg and Above)

These giant rabbits impress with their size but remain very gentle and calm.

  • Flemish Giant (Belgian Giant) – One of the largest breeds, weighing over 10 kg.
  • French Lop – Recognized for its large, expressive ears and relaxed temperament.
  • Alaskan Rabbit – Smooth-coated, sturdy, with a sleek black coat.

The History of Rabbit Grooming

Rabbit grooming as a professional service has been gaining popularity over the past 10-15 years. Initially, owners of decorative rabbits groomed their pets on their own, but over time, they realized that proper care requires special skills.

The first professional rabbit grooming services appeared in Europe and the USA, where owners began turning to specialists for trimming, brushing, and nail care. In Ukraine, rabbit grooming is still not as widespread but is becoming increasingly sought-after among owners of decorative breeds.

Why Is Rabbit Grooming So Important?

Regular brushing prevents matting and reduces the risk of fur ingestion.
Nail trimming helps prevent injuries and paw issues.
Ear and eye cleaning is necessary for infection prevention, especially in lop-eared breeds.
Hygienic procedures make a rabbit’s life more comfortable and improve overall well-being.

The Trend of Rabbit Grooming

With the rise of social media and the growing popularity of pets, rabbit grooming has become not only a necessity but also a trend. On Instagram and TikTok, thousands of videos showcase fluffy rabbits after grooming sessions or professional care.

Many owners want their pets to look neat and beautiful, making rabbit grooming as common as grooming for dogs and cats. Model grooming has also gained popularity, where rabbits are trimmed into precise shapes or given decorative elements such as a “mane” or a “fur coat”.
