Q&A
Why is Grooming Important for Dogs and Cats?
At Cura Bella Grooming, we understand that pet grooming is crucial for maintaining the health and appearance of your dogs and cats. Regular grooming not only ensures your pet looks their best but also promotes a healthy coat, reduces stress, and prevents matting and tangles. Grooming helps eliminate dirt and debris, and provides an opportunity to check for potential health issues, contributing to a happier and healthier pet.
What Supplies Do I Need for Pet Grooming?
The grooming supplies you need depend on your pet’s coat type. For short-haired dogs and short-haired cats, a basic brush and comb are usually sufficient. For long-haired dogs and long-haired cats, you may need additional tools such as scissors, clippers, or a de-shedding tool. Always use pet-safe shampoo and conditioner, along with towels and cotton balls for ear cleaning.
How Can I Make Grooming Easier for My Pet?
To make grooming your dog or grooming your cat more manageable, start with short, positive grooming sessions and gradually increase their length. Use treats and toys as rewards to create a positive association with grooming. Ensure you use the right grooming tools for your pet’s coat type to keep them comfortable and reduce resistance.

What Are Some Common Myths About Pet Grooming?
Many people believe pet grooming is only necessary for show dogs or long-haired cats, but all pets benefit from regular grooming. Grooming helps remove dirt, parasites, and debris, preventing matting and allowing you to check for health issues. While professional grooming can be an investment, home grooming is also feasible with the right tools. Some pets may initially resist grooming, but with patience and positive reinforcement, they can learn to enjoy the process.
Why Use Special Shampoo for Pets?
Human shampoos are too harsh for pets and can strip their coats of essential oils, leading to dry, irritated skin. Pet shampoo is formulated to be gentle on your dog’s or cat’s skin and coat, addressing issues such as itchiness, excessive shedding, and unpleasant odors.
How Often Should My Dog or Cat Be Groomed?
The frequency of dog grooming and cat grooming depends on your pet’s coat type. Short-coated breeds generally need brushing once or twice a week, while long-coated breeds may require daily brushing. For most pets, professional grooming services should be scheduled at least once a week to maintain their coat health and overall well-being. For the best budget-friendly option, dogs and cats can generally be groomed every 4-6 weeks. The exact grooming frequency may vary based on your pet’s breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Consider booking recurring appointments to ensure availability.
Does Frequent Bathing Harm My Dog’s or Cat’s Coat?
No, frequent bathing does not harm your pet’s coat if done properly. Veterinarians recommend regular grooming, and at Cura Bella Grooming, we use high-quality shampoos and conditioners to soothe dry, itchy skin and keep your dog’s or cat’s coat healthy.
My Dog or Cat Sheds Constantly—Can You Help?
Yes, we offer professional de-shedding treatments that significantly reduce shedding for both dogs and cats. This service also helps your pet stay cooler during the summer months.
What Should I Do If My Dog’s or Cat’s Coat Is Matted?
We provide a gentle, pain-free grooming experience for pets with matted coats. For severe mats, we perform a humane "shave down" using our longest blade to safely remove the mats. Starting fresh with a new coat is often more effective than attempting to de-mat heavily tangled fur.
Do You Express Anal Glands for Dogs?
Yes, we can express your dog’s anal glands upon request or if needed.
Do You Brush My Dog’s or Cat’s Teeth?
Yes, we offer teeth brushing as an add-on service for $10, which includes a new toothbrush for your pet. Please ensure your dog’s or cat’s teeth and gums are healthy before adding this service.
What If I Need to Cancel My Pet’s Grooming Appointment?
We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel, please notify us at least 48 hours in advance so we can offer the slot to another client.
What If We Need to Cancel or Reschedule an Appointment?
In rare cases, we may need to cancel appointments due to weather, road conditions, equipment issues, or personal reasons. We will contact you as soon as possible to reschedule.
What Are Your Policies for No-Shows?
A full service fee will be required in advance to rebook if you miss an appointment. This policy helps us manage our schedule and offer timely service to all clients.
What Payment Methods Do You Accept?
We accept payment via cash, Zelle, or ATM at the time of service. Please note that all fees must be settled before scheduling future appointments.
