Ragdoll grooming

Ragdoll cats are known for their beautiful, semi-longhaired coats, which are surprisingly low-maintenance compared to other long-haired breeds. However, regular grooming is still essential to keep their fur in top condition. Ragdolls have a silky, non-matting coat, but brushing them two to three times a week will help prevent tangles and reduce shedding. A good-quality steel comb or a slicker brush works well to remove loose hair and distribute natural oils throughout the coat, keeping it shiny and healthy.

In addition to brushing, it’s important to pay attention to other aspects of grooming. Regularly checking and cleaning your Ragdoll’s ears, trimming their nails, and brushing their teeth are vital parts of their overall care routine. Since Ragdolls are indoor cats, they may not wear down their nails naturally, so trimming them every few weeks is recommended. Dental health is also crucial, as Ragdolls are prone to dental issues. Brushing their teeth several times a week can help prevent tartar buildup and gum disease. By maintaining a consistent grooming routine, you can ensure that your Ragdoll remains not only beautiful but also healthy and comfortable.
