The Cornish Rex may look low-maintenance with its short, curly coat – but don’t be fooled. These elegant cats have special grooming needs that most pet parents overlook.
At PawBasic, we understand that cat grooming isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why our Mississauga-based grooming salon takes extra care with unique breeds like the Cornish Rex.
What Makes Cornish Rex Cats Different?
Unlike typical cats with three hair layers (guard, awn, and down), the Cornish Rex only has the soft, wavy undercoat. This gives them their signature velvety texture, but also makes them:
- More prone to oil buildup
- Sensitive to cold and drafts
- More likely to need regular cleaning (especially ears and paws)
That soft coat may not shed much, but it does require more frequent maintenance than most cat owners expect.
Our Grooming Process for Cornish Rex Cats
We tailor every grooming session to your cat’s unique coat and comfort. Here’s what a Cornish Rex grooming session at PawBasic might include:
- Warm, hypoallergenic bath to remove excess oil
- Gentle towel dry (no over-drying or heat damage)
- Nail trim and paw pad cleaning
- Ear cleaning (a must for this breed!)
- Skin check for irritation or sensitivity
- Lots of soft talk and cuddles 😽
We keep the room warm, quiet, and relaxing to help your Rex feel comfortable throughout.
Why Choose a Pro Groomer for Your Cornish Rex?
Many owners assume short-haired cats don’t need grooming – but the Cornish Rex proves otherwise. DIY bathing can dry out their delicate skin or leave residue if not rinsed properly.
At PawBasic, we:
- Use vet-approved, breed-safe products
- Handle each cat gently and with patience
- Are trusted by hundreds of Mississauga cat parents
Our 4.9-star reviews say it all.
