When it comes to raising a healthy, happy kitten, grooming isn’t just about a shiny coat or cute Instagram photos. It’s about whole kitten wellness – from the food they eat to the way they move, play, and feel safe during grooming.
At PawBasic, we’re big believers in a holistic grooming approach for kittens that supports their mind, body, and adorable little spirit.
Here’s how we help pet parents in Mississauga raise confident, clean, and cuddly cats – starting from day one.
🧼 Grooming Is More Than Just a Bath
Yes, kittens are pros at self-grooming – but they still need help, especially with:
- Nail trims
- Brushing (to avoid early matting)
- Face, paw, and bum cleaning
- Desensitization to being handled
Our groomers focus on slow introductions, gentle touch, and positive reinforcement to make each session safe and stress-free.
🥩 The Nutrition-Grooming Connection
Healthy skin and fur start in the bowl. If your kitten’s coat is dull or flaky, it might be missing key nutrients like:
- Omega-3s (for shine and skin moisture)
- High-quality protein (for coat growth)
- Hydration (wet food helps!)
Our team can’t prescribe diets, but we’re happy to flag skin or coat issues you can discuss with your vet.
🐾 Movement Matters: The Grooming-Exercise Link
Playful kittens = better groomers.
Exercise helps with:
- Natural shedding
- Flexibility during grooming
- Reduced stress during appointments
Try wand toys, climbing towers, or even gentle play right before a groom to release some of that kitten zoomie energy.
