Grooming is an essential part of keeping your feline friend happy and healthy. Whether you're new to cat grooming or looking for expert advice, we've compiled answers to some of the most common grooming questions cat owners have.

How Often Should I Send My Cat for Grooming?
For optimal coat and skin health, it’s recommended to schedule professional grooming every six weeks. However, regular home maintenance—such as brushing and wiping your cat’s coat—should be done weekly to prevent tangles, matting, and excess shedding.
Do You Offer Flea and Tick Treatments?
Yes, Neko Neko provides parasite treatments, which include a special medicated bath to remove fleas and ticks. If your cat requires this treatment, please leave a note at checkout so we can take extra precautions to prevent cross-contamination with other cats in our care.
What Is a Cat’s Undercoat, and Why Should It Be Removed?
A cat’s undercoat consists of dead or trapped fur that can cause matting and hinder proper air circulation through the coat. Removing the undercoat provides several benefits:
-
A Deeper Cleanse – Helps shampoos and treatments reach the skin more effectively.
-
Faster Drying Time – Ensures your cat’s coat dries more quickly after a bath, reducing the risk of chills.
-
Prevents Matting – Reduces knots and tangles, making the coat easier to maintain.
Can My Cat Have a Wet Bath Without Undercoat Removal?
Technically, yes—but we strongly advise against it for your cat’s comfort and safety.
Without undercoat removal, a wet bath can cause existing mats to tighten, making them even more difficult to remove. Additionally:
-
A damp coat increases the risk of your cat catching a cold.
-
Drying time is extended, leading to discomfort.
-
Post-bath combing can be painful if mats are present.
Instead, we recommend opting for a dry bath if undercoat removal is not performed. This alternative ensures a cleaner and more comfortable grooming experience for your cat.
