Cat Grooming in Quinlan, TX
Cat Grooming: Don’t Try This at Home
At Dawg Gone Dirty, we know that bathing your cat is... let’s just say, not on anyone’s list of fun weekend activities. From the scratches to the yowls, it's usually a stressful experience for everyone involved. But not for us.
With over 30 years of grooming experience, we’ve seen it all — and we’ve developed calm, cat-friendly techniques to keep your feline clean, comfortable, and (mostly) purring.
Whether you have a fluffy Maine Coon or a short-haired tabby, our cat grooming services are safe, gentle, and designed around what works best for your pet.
Why Cats Need Grooming, Too
Cats are known for being self-cleaning machines — but even the cleanest kitty can use a little help now and then. Regular grooming helps:
- Prevent painful matting, especially in long-haired breeds
- Reduce hairballs and shedding
- Keep claws trimmed and healthy
- Soothe itchy or irritated skin
- Detect fleas, ticks, or skin issues early
- Keep older or less-mobile cats clean and comfortable
And yes — even cats benefit from a little pampering now and then.
What’s Included in Cat Grooming
Every grooming session is tailored to your cat’s coat type, temperament, and any special needs. Our standard cat grooming services include:
- Gentle bath and blow dry
- Claw trimming
- Fur brushing and deshedding
- Sanitary trim or full body trim (as needed)
- Medicated baths for sensitive or allergy-prone skin
- Ear cleaning and face wipe
We work slowly and gently, giving your cat time to adjust. If they need breaks — they get them. If they need quiet space — we provide it.
Creative Styling for Cats
Want to add a little flair to your feline? We also offer creative grooming for cats, using safe, pet-friendly products that won’t irritate sensitive skin. Popular options include:
Temporary color (tasteful or bold — your choice)
Light glitter or shimmer
Decorative bows or bandanas
Matching nail polish
Seasonal styling (hearts, stars, etc.)
Start Them Young: Kitten Grooming Tips
Just adopted a kitten? Now’s the perfect time to start grooming. Cats are creatures of habit, and kittens who get used to regular baths and brushing grow into calm, cooperative adults.
We recommend introducing kittens to grooming early — with short, gentle sessions that make the experience feel safe and positive.
Let us help you build a lifelong routine that benefits both you and your cat.
A Cat-Friendly Grooming Eironment
At Dawg Gone Dirty, we provide a calm, quiet environment for your feline friend:
- No dogs in the grooming area during cat appointments (by request)
- No crate drying — ever
- Plenty of breaks for nervous or elderly cats
- A skilled, experienced groomer who understands cat body language
- Private handling, not rushed or assembly-line
Your cat’s comfort is our top priority — and we’re proud of how many of our clients say their cats come back less stressed and more confident after each visit.
