Grooming is an important part of pet care. Depending on the breed, age, and health of your pet, grooming may even need to be a part of your and your pet’s daily routine. Many breeds require less grooming than this, but regular grooming always helps to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. Some breeds like Poodles don't shed their hair effectively and require grooming by a professional every 6–8 weeks. Long-haired cats can particularly benefit from regular grooming as it helps prevent the formation of knots in the coat and hairballs in the stomach.
