Why Professional Grooming in Mauritius?

Tropical Climate Challenges

• Year-round shedding: No seasonal coat changes means constant shedding. Regular de-shedding treatments reduce loose fur.
• Heat management: Trimming coat (when appropriate) helps dogs stay cooler. However, never shave double-coated breeds.
• Humidity and skin health: High humidity can cause skin issues. Regular baths with appropriate shampoos maintain healthy skin.
• Parasite prevention: Groomers check for fleas and ticks during grooming sessions.

How Often Should You Groom Your Pet?

Dogs

• Short-haired breeds: Bath every 2-3 months, brush weekly
• Medium-haired breeds: Groom every 6-8 weeks, brush 2-3 times weekly
• Long-haired breeds: Professional groom every 4-6 weeks, daily brushing at home
• In Mauritius: May need more frequent grooming due to year-round shedding and humidity

Cats

• Short-haired: Usually self-groom, occasional bath if needed
• Long-haired (Persians, Maine Coons): Professional groom every 6-8 weeks, daily brushing at home
• Senior or overweight cats: May need professional grooming help
