The above pictures are real: it shows the amount of undercoat a cat groomer can get out of almost every cat by de-waxing their skin...skin de-waxing is free with every bath. It is the underlying problem of most shedding and matting problems so we don't believe in bathing cats without doing it. *Call toll-free at 800-516-1228 to book at appointment.

The below write-up of cat skin de-waxing is long...but isn't you cat worth the read? ...it will often solve your cats grooming issues permanently. Think Your Cat Doesn't Need a Bath ?? THINK AGAIN !! *** It is a myth that cat's don't need baths, here's why: DOES YOUR CAT SHED A LOT? HAVE HAIRBALLS? Throw-up food? HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE DRY SKIN? GET MATTED? Do you get cat hair in your eyes and don't know why? (undercoat floats in the air) ***Undercoat is responsible for many of these problems. HAVE ALLERGIES? What causes allergies to cats is skin dander, undercoat, and the protein in cat saliva that sticks to cat hair and undercoat. These three major things "float in the air" and expose the nose, mouth, and eyes to the allergens. Cat skin-dewaxing, massive undercoat raking, and colloidal oatmeal baths are how we address all three. While there is no such thing as a hypo-allergenic cat, the "Siberian" cat, for example, lacks this protein and is considered the least allergic of cats. If your cat hasn't had his skin de-waxed in the last year, you probably have one of the above listed problems! The answer is simple, when we domesticated cats and brought them into our homes, we forgot that their bodies were genetically designed for the outdoors. As they were exposed to the weather, cat's developed a waxy skin-coating that locked-in their undercoat. This skin-coating also told their bodies to keep producing more undercoat in order to stay warm in cold weather, this is how they survived below zero temperatures. Outdoors, a cat's coat would build a thick layer of cotton-like fibers (called undercoat) to keep them- selves warm. Our indoor cat's don't need this thick fibrous undercoat. This waxy coating on the skin in usually not seen by the human eye. It's much like when we take a bath for two hours and dry off with a rough towel, we see lots of white dead skin cells. With a blue de-waxer that is rubbed into the cat's skin for 15 minutes, all the cat's waxy skin build-up is gently brushed out. The result is that the cat's massive undercoat can now be stripped away and you'll have up to 80% less shedding and matting.
