How often should I brush my short-haired cat to reduce shedding?

[]

Answer

Even short-haired cats benefit from regular brushing to reduce shedding and prevent hairballs. Aim for at least 2-3 times a week, or even daily during peak shedding seasons. A rubber grooming mitt or a slicker brush works well for short coats, helping to remove loose fur and distribute natural oils, promoting a healthy coat. Regular brushing also serves as a bonding experience and allows you to check for any skin issues. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
