Grooming your cat
In addition to choosing the best cat food, having an annual check-up and vaccination by the veterinarian, regularly deworming, and protecting your cat from fleas and ticks, the care of your cat goes even further. Pharmacy4pets has all the supplies you need for the care of your furry friend.
Everything for the daily care of your cat
Pharmacy4pets offers a wide range of grooming products for your cat.
Skin and coat care for your cat
The required amount of coat care varies per cat. A long-haired cat will benefit from a daily brushing session, while a healthy British Shorthair needs less grooming. If your cat cannot groom itself well, for example due to osteoarthritis, it may need your help more often. Regularly brushing your cat prevents matting and even felting. In exceptional cases, it may be necessary to shave your long-haired cat.
To maintain healthy skin and fur, fish oil can help, both from the inside, for example with Megaderm, and through a pipette between the shoulder blades, such as Allerderm Spot-on.
Bathing your cat is rarely necessary. Luckily, because most cats don’t find it particularly pleasant! If it is necessary, for example in cases of certain skin conditions or if your cat has unexpectedly gotten very dirty, Pharmacy4Pets has a wide range of shampoos and conditioners for cats. Did you know that there is even special 'dry shampoo' for cats? In the form of a foam that doesn’t need rinsing out.
Small wounds can be treated with honey ointment such as Vetramil Honey Ointment. More serious damage from scratching can be prevented by using a collar or a Medical Pet Shirt. These products should also not be missing from your first aid kit.
Fluffy paws
By teaching your cat early to use the scratching post and not to sharpen its claws on the couch, you can prevent many problems. Trimming cat nails is rarely necessary, really only if they grow abnormally or if your cat gets caught in the carpet, which especially occurs in older cats. With a special cat nail clipper, this task is a breeze.
Dental care for your cat
Preventing plaque and tartar is essential to keep your cat's teeth healthy. Did you know that infections in the mouth can even cause problems elsewhere in the body, such as in the kidneys or the heart? Therefore, practicing tooth brushing is important. You can practice tooth brushing for cats step by step. Pharmacy4pets has a wide range of toothbrushes and toothpaste for your cat.
Care for the eyes and ears
You should check your cat's eyes and ears daily for abnormalities or dirt. If your cat squints, shakes its head, scratches its ears, or has very dirty ears, it's best to visit the veterinarian. A tear streak without eye infection can be cleaned with a special eye cleaner like Bogacare Perfect Eye Cleaner. A cat's ears should be slightly oily, which helps capture pathogens. Cleaning them is usually not necessary. Over-cleaning the ears or using the wrong products can even do more harm than good. If your cat has truly dirty ears, use a special ear cleaner like Epi-Otic ear cleaner or Monoclean, preferably after a check by the veterinarian.
