Bathing, brushing and grooming for Ragdoll breed cats by grooming experts with love and attention

Ragdolls are one of the most famous and beloved cat breeds in the world. They were bred in the United States in the 1960s, and within a few decades, Ragdolls became a true symbol of calmness, gentleness and domesticity. The name of the breed translates as “rag doll”, and it very accurately describes the character of these cats: when a ragdoll is taken in your arms, it relaxes and literally “spreads out”, fully trusting the person. These are large cats – adult males can weigh 6-9 kg, females usually 4-6 kg. They have a strong build, long body, wide chest and expressive blue eyes. Ragdolls are extremely contactable, human-oriented, get along well with children and other animals, are not prone to aggression and feel themselves perfectly in the apartment, even without active walking.

A separate pride of ragdolls is their fur. It is semi-long, very soft, silky, without a stiff undercoat, but this is what makes it vulnerable to tangling. Although the ragdoll’s coat is not as “cottony” as some other long-haired breeds, without regular care, tangles quickly appear, especially in the belly area, armpits, behind the ears and on the “pants”. Home brushing is a must, but it is not enough to keep the coat in perfect condition. Professional grooming includes proper bathing with special shampoos, deep combing, skin care, sanitizing and drying without over drying the coat. The optimal frequency of visits to the grooming salon for a Ragdoll is approximately every 6-8 weeks, and even more often during the shedding period. It is regular professional grooming that allows you to preserve the natural beauty of the coat, prevent collapses and make the cat not only beautiful, but also comfortable in everyday life.

Why do regdol owners choose our network?

A deep understanding of the breed:
The ragdoll has a special coat structure, a poorly defined undercoat and a very sensitive psyche. Our salons are staffed by masters who know exactly where ragdolls form tangles, how to handle the cat's large body and how to work with an animal that relaxes completely in your hands. This is not an experiment, but a well-established practice.

Stress-free care for an extremely contact breed:
Ragdolls become strongly attached to humans and do not tolerate harsh actions, noise and rushing badly. We do not work "for speed" at the cost of the animal's comfort. Grooming takes place in a calm atmosphere, with pauses as needed, so that the cat is not overworked and not frightened. And we also have special boxes for drying cats, which are calm and comfortable for any cat.

Proper bathing for a silky coat:
Regdol coat health is easy to lose - all it takes is one wrong shampoo or over-drying. In our salons, professional products are selected specifically for a semi-long, soft coat without a stiff undercoat. After bathing, the coat does not stick together, does not become "cotton" and does not lose its natural shine.

Safe, pain-free untangling of tangles:
Ragdolls often develop tangles covertly - on the belly, in the armpits, behind the ears. We don't "rip out" the hair and we don't shear it all off. We work out each hairball carefully, with minimal discomfort for the cat and preserving the length where possible.

Convenient recording and stable quality in Kiev:
Our network operates under uniform quality standards, so you get the same high level of care regardless of location. Enrollment in grooming salons of our network is a confidence that your regdol will fall into the hands of specialists who understand this breed and work with it correctly.

Professional equipment and proven cosmetic products:
We only work with professional tools and cosmetics that are safe for cats and suitable for regular use. No experiments, cheap substitutions or random brands - only what produces consistent results.

Grooming treatments from regdol complexes in our salons

- Claw trimming:
Claw trimming in regdolls is performed as carefully as possible, taking into account the anatomy of each claw. The master works only on the transparent part, without touching the living area, so that the procedure is completely painless. Special attention is paid to the lateral claws, which often grow faster and can cling to the fur or tissues. After the procedure, the cat feels comfortable and the risk of scratching and snagging in the house is greatly reduced.

- A model haircut or a complete combing out of all collars:
We do not use aggressive or "pattern" haircuts for regdolls. If the coat is in good condition, a deep professional combing is performed with gradual unraveling of the collars without pain or sudden movements. In cases when the pits are dense or there are a lot of them, the groomer chooses the optimal solution - local model correction or neat haircut, keeping the tidy appearance of the cat and not violating the natural aesthetics of the breed. The main goal is the animal's comfort and healthy coat condition, not radical changes.

- Bathing and drying:
The Ragdoll is bathed using professional products for a semi-long, silky coat with no stiff undercoat. Shampoos and conditioners are selected individually, taking into account the condition of the skin and coat. During the procedure, the coat is thoroughly washed but not over-dried. Drying is carried out with controlled airflow and the correct temperature to maintain the softness, luster and natural texture of the coat without a "fluffy" or brittle effect.

- Ear Cleaning:
Ragdoll ears are cleaned delicately without deep intervention. The groomer uses special safe products that remove dirt and excess wax without irritating the skin. The procedure helps prevent inflammation, odor and discomfort without the cat experiencing pain or fear.

- Eye cleaning:
Ragdoll eyes need regular care, especially because of their tendency to produce minor discharge. During cleaning, special wipes or lotions are used to gently clean the area around the eyes without causing irritation. The procedure makes the eye look clean and well-groomed and helps avoid the accumulation of impurities.

- Application of kitty perfume (optional):
At the owner's request, a special cat perfume is applied after all procedures are completed. It is a light, unobtrusive fragrance created just for animals, without aggressive components and pungent odors. The perfume emphasizes the feeling of cleanliness and grooming without interfering with the cat's sense of smell or causing stress.

Questions and answers from ragdoll owners about care and grooming

Do regdols need to be clipped, or is combing out enough?

In most cases, ragdolls do not require a full haircut. Their coat is better maintained with regular professional combing and proper bathing. Ragdoll shearing is used only when necessary - in case of severe hairballs or if the coat is neglected. The main goal is the cat's comfort and coat health, not a radical change in appearance.

How often should a ragdoll be taken for grooming?

The optimal grooming frequency for a regdol is every 4-6 weeks. During the active shedding period or if the cat lives in a warm room, visits may be more frequent. Regular salon grooming prevents the formation of tangles and makes home grooming much easier.

Do regdols molt a lot?

Yes, ragdolls do shed quite noticeably, especially in the spring and fall. Although they don't have a stiff undercoat, the coat is quite densely renewed. Professional combing during grooming significantly reduces the amount of hair at home and helps keep your cat looking tidy between visits.

Does a regdol need to be bathed if it is pet?

Yes, even fully domesticated ragdolls need bathing. Dust, skin grease and household dirt accumulate on the coat and cannot be removed by brushing alone. Proper bathing with professional products makes the coat lighter, softer and less prone to tangling.

Is grooming safe for ragdolls with their calm temperament?

Ragdolls tolerate grooming well if approached correctly. They are calm, but very sensitive to atmosphere and movement. That is why it is important that the procedures are carried out without rushing, sudden actions and noise. In the professional environment of our network, grooming is as comfortable as possible for the animal.

Are all-purpose cat shampoos suitable for regdols?

Not desirable. Ragdolls have very delicate coats and all-purpose products often dry them out or make them brittle. This breed requires special professional shampoos and conditioners that keep the coat soft and naturally shiny.

Do regdol kittens need grooming?

Yes, but in a very gentle format. Gentle brushing, ear brushing and clawing helps the kitten to be comfortable with grooming in the future. This greatly reduces stress as an adult. Our salons even have special adaptive facilities for kittens.
