Grooming Tips for Persian
Groom your Persian's coat every other day. Avoid nylon combs because they generate static electricity. If you discover
a knot, simply tease it apart with your fingers then brush/comb it. If you need to cut it out, first slide a comb underneath
the knot to separate the knot from the skin. Using round-tipped scissors, cut the hair sitting on top of the comb.
Wipe tearing eyes with a damp washcloth (no soap) ideally 3 - 4 times daily. For problems with staining around the eyes,
consult your vet before using any cleansers or solutions.
Bathe your Persian once a month. Fill a basin/tub with lukewarm water. Using cat shampoo, work up a lather all over the
fur. Be careful around the eyes and ears. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry. Be sure to run a comb through the coat to prevent
matting.
