At V.O.G DOG SALON, we pay special attention to the comfort and peace of your pets, using gentle methods of work without the use of sedatives. Below are basic tips and techniques to help minimize your cat’s stress during procedures.
Understanding the behavior of a cat before a haircut
Cats may respond differently to grooming depending on their temperament and previous experience. It is important to carefully observe their behavior before the procedure:
- If the cat shows restlessness (such as hiding or growling), this may be a sign of fear.
- Some cats become aggressive before the procedure due to unfamiliar smells or sounds.
- A calm demeanor shows trust in the owner or groomer.
Methods of preparing an animal for grooming
Preparing a cat for grooming at home will help reduce stress:
- Accustom the cat to tools gradually. For example, let him sniff a comb or hair clipper so he gets used to their smell and sound.
- Play with the cat before the procedure to reduce its energy.
- Do not feed the cat immediately before grooming, as this may cause discomfort.
Use of sedatives: pros and cons
In some cases, owners may consider using sedatives. However, in V.O.G DOG SALON salons, we adhere to the principle of work without medical intervention:
- Why don’t we use sedatives? We believe that the best way to reduce stress is a professional approach and the right environment for the animal.
- Advantages of sedatives. They can help in cases where the cat has serious stress problems, but should only be prescribed by a veterinarian.
- Cons. Medicines can have side effects and do not always provide comfort for the animal.
Tips for creating a comfortable atmosphere during a haircut
- In our salons, we ensure silence, peace and the absence of unnecessary stimuli.
- We use a slow and careful approach so that the cat gradually gets used to the process.
- Groomers always take into account the individual characteristics of the animal, creating the most comfortable conditions.
To reduce stress, it is important to choose a salon that understands the needs of your pet. At V.O.G DOG SALON, we care about each client, creating a positive approach for even the most sensitive cats. By choosing professionals, you ensure peace of mind for your pet.
