Think Sphynx cats don’t need grooming just because they don’t have fur? Think again. These stunning, hairless felines require specialized grooming routines to keep their skin clean, healthy, and irritation-free.
At PawBasic, we love working with unique breeds – including the elegant and expressive Sphynx. If you’re a proud Sphynx parent in Mississauga, here’s everything you need to know to keep your cat looking and feeling their best.
🧼 Why Sphynx Cats Need Regular Grooming
Without fur to absorb natural oils, Sphynx cats accumulate oil and dirt directly on their skin. This can lead to:
- Greasy residue on furniture
- Acne or blackheads (especially on the chin)
- Itchy or irritated skin
- A not-so-pleasant odour

🐾 Our Sphynx Grooming Routine at PawBasic
Sphynx grooming is more than a bath – it’s skincare.
Each session includes:
- Warm water cleanse with hypoallergenic, non-scented shampoo
- Thorough rinse to avoid residue
- Ear cleaning (a must for Sphynx cats!)
- Nail trim and paw cleaning
- Skin assessment for irritation or blemishes
We make sure your cat leaves clean, calm, and cuddle-ready.
🛁 At-Home Tips Between Appointments
To keep your Sphynx fresh between grooms:
- Wipe them down with unscented baby wipes or damp cloths every few days
- Keep their bedding clean to avoid oil buildup
- Monitor for dry patches or redness
- Clean ears weekly with vet-approved solution
