Kuwait Professional Pet Grooming 101

Intro

As we all might know, Kuwait has no shortage of heat, humidity, and dust, which we feel

the effects of regularly. It is worth considering that these are not exclusively human

experiences - our furry friends feel them too. In addition, since you are here, the

chances are you have looked at your couch at least once and seen it wearing a fur coat

that suspiciously resembles your pet; we have all been there. Lastly, it is not wrong to

admit that your dog or cat does get a little musty from time to time. We still love them,

but can remedy all of these situations with professional pet grooming services!

Why Grooming?

A professional pet grooming service in Kuwait can work wonders for your pet and

address a myriad of wellness concerns for your four-legged companion. Bathing

releases dirt, dust, and natural oil that can get trapped under their dense fur, which

could cause itching and irritation if left unaddressed. Deep brushing and de-shedding

also aids with preventing and removing fur matting, which exacerbates dirt buildup

(hotspots form when this is left too long). What's more, it can help control shedding all

year round and allow their skin to breathe better, reducing trapped humidity that causes

odors and skin sensitivity. Last but certainly not least, managing sensitive areas like

paw pads, nails, between toes, and under-tail areas is much easier with a professional

pet grooming service. You can rest easy knowing that tending to these areas prioritizes

your pet’s comfort and hygiene, serving as great preventative care.

Professional Grooming 101

It pleases any pet owner to pamper their best friend, but now you know that cat/dog

grooming services can do much more than that. Despite this, it can be a bit

overwhelming to navigate the many options available on the market. Essentially,

grooming services can be offered in basic and advanced packages, with additional

services available on an individual basis. It is important to remember that, amazing as

they are, our animals’ coats and skin differ from ours and will get damaged from

over-stripping of the oils and secretions that keep them healthy, which can result from

over-bathing. For dogs, generally bathing every 4-6 weeks is acceptable; however, it is

important to remember that it can vary greatly from breed to breed, going from as

frequent as every week to every eight weeks. With giving your dog haircuts, Kuwait

weather seems intuitive for shaving down longer coats, yet it is crucial to keep in mindthat double-coated breeds should NOT be shaved despite the heat, unless specifically

instructed by a veterinarian. This can interfere with their natural temperature regulation,

oil secretions, and even can prevent their coats from growing back properly. Instead, opt

to trim and tidy with scissors, and remember that brushing and de-shedding are your

go-tos to keep them comfortable year-round. When it comes to booking a cat bath

service for your feline friend, it is best to remember that, unlike dogs, they generally do

this quite well themselves. With that said, cat bath services are best reserved for cats

who are: elderly, long-haired, or particular breeds like sphynxes. Having said all that, it

is important to be familiar with the grooming services available in Kuwait in order to

navigate your options and better choose the most suitable ones for you.

Packages

Often, packages will be split into one of three categories. These are basic, advanced,

and selective grooming packages. Notably, these are in no way separated by

effectiveness or levels of care, but instead describe different services for the large

variance in pet and owner styles alike.

Basic

Basic grooming services in Kuwait for cats and dogs alike often describe a

comprehensive visit, the kind that takes care of all your pets’ hygiene and wellness

needs. This is the kind of visit that will return your pet having been fully pampered and

ready for you to enjoy them in your home care-free! At Healthy Paws, dogs’ and cats’

basic grooming services include shampooing, conditioning, blow drying, nail clipping &

trimming, cleaning (ears, eyes & sanitary areas), and perfuming.

Advanced

Advanced grooming services, or full grooming services in Kuwait entail much of the

same care found in the basic package, but are made “full” or “advanced” by the addition

of haircut services. At Healthy Paws, dogs’ and cats’ full grooming services include

hair shaving & styling, shampooing, conditioning, blow drying, nail clipping & trimming,

cleaning (ears, eyes & sanitary areas), and perfuming.

Selective

From there, all other services offered are individual versions of the services already

mentioned, like cat/dog haircuts only, nail trimming only, etc. In addition, specialist

grooming services are available at Healthy Paws, including anal gland expression, dry

grooming services, and teeth brushing
