In the world of grooming, where the main focus has always been on dogs and cats, a completely new trend has appeared – raccoon grooming. These restless furries win the hearts of their owners not only with their charm, but also with the need for specific care. While other craftsmen are only thinking about whether they are ready to work with such “exotics”, we are already successfully grooming raccoons, offering the full range of necessary procedures and even a creative approach.
Features of raccoons and challenges for groomers
Raccoons are incredibly active, curious and playful animals, which makes their grooming a special challenge for any groomer. They have a thick, dense coat that requires regular grooming to avoid tangles and dirt. However, the main difficulty is the behavior of raccoons.
- Curiosity and restlessness: raccoons are not used to sitting still during the procedure, they constantly try to escape, explore every corner of the cabin or find a new toy.
- Individual characteristics: each raccoon has its own temperament. Some are more calm and obedient, others are real little rebels who require a special approach and patience.
- Coat structure: the thick undercoat of raccoons easily collects dirt and piles up in the tusks if not regularly groomed.
Because of these features, grooming raccoons requires experience, professional skills, and special work techniques.
Grooming raccoons: what makes it special?
At first glance, it seems that caring for raccoons is not much different from grooming dogs or cats, but it is not. The main difference lies in the structure of the coat and behavior.
- Differences from dogs and cats:
- The coat of raccoons has a double layer: a thick undercoat and a stiff core hair, which requires delicate handling.
- Raccoons are less patient during procedures and may perceive grooming as a game or a threat.
- Clipping the claws is mandatory, because the claws of raccoons grow very quickly and become dangerous both for themselves and for the environment.
- Difficulties of work:
- Bathing: raccoons are often afraid of water or, on the contrary, try to frolic in it. The master must find a balance between the comfort of the animal and high-quality cleaning of the wool.
- Combing: due to the undercoat, the combing process can be long and requires special tools to avoid damaging the coat.
- Hygienic procedures: ear cleaning, eye treatment and claw trimming require delicacy and the ability to calm the animal.
- Why is it important to contact professionals?
An inexperienced master can not only stress the animal, but also harm its health. And professionals know:
- How to choose an individual approach to each raccoon.
- What tools and cosmetics to use to care for their fur.
- How to minimize stress for the animal during procedures.
In our salons, we create a comfortable and safe atmosphere for them, where each procedure is performed at the highest level.

Complex care for raccoons
Grooming raccoons in our salons is comprehensive care that ensures the health of a furry pet:
- Bathing
Raccoon fur quickly absorbs dirt, dust and foreign odors. We use special shampoos for animals, taking into account their sensitive skin and thick undercoat. Water at a comfortable temperature and gentle massage during bathing ensure complete cleaning of the coat without stress.
- Combing
Untangling the thick undercoat of a raccoon is a task for a real professional. We use special combs and brushes that do not damage the structure of the fur, removing the fluff and excess fluff.
- Claw trimming
Raccoon claws grow very quickly and can cause discomfort to both the owner and the animal. Our technicians carefully trim the nails, following the correct techniques to avoid injury.
- Ear cleaning
Raccoons tend to build up sulfur in their ears, which can cause irritation or infection. We carefully clean the ears using safe products that ensure cleanliness and comfort.
Such comprehensive care helps to maintain the raccoon’s health at a high level and prevent many problems related to fur and hygiene.
