British Shorthair owners… that soft plush coat needs more attention than you might think 🐾
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve heard ‘if I’d have known how much hair they’d shed beforehand…!’
The British Shorthair may have a short coat, but it’s an incredibly dense, plush double coat — one of the things that gives the breed that gorgeous velvety appearance.
And underneath all that plushness? A surprising amount of loose coat can build up! 🙀
Regular professional grooming can help to:
✨ Remove loose and any compacted undercoat
✨ Reduce shedding (and the amount of cat decorating your sofa!)
✨ Keeps the body and coat aerated, comfortable and in good condition
✨ Pick up early changes in the skin or coat
✨ Reduce the amount of loose fur swallowed during self-grooming - nobody likes a hairball 🤮
✨ Keep claws comfortably maintained
Some British Shorthairs also really benefit from a bath and thorough dry, particularly during heavier shedding periods or if they’re particularly greasy — you would be amazed at how much coat can come out of a seemingly perfectly tidy cat!
Beautiful Murray here is a perfect example of that fabulous BSH coat — and just look at his colouring. 🤎
Short-haired definitely doesn’t mean no grooming required.
