American Shorthair Grooming Guide
العناية بالفرو
Brush the coat once a week using a slicker or bristle brush, whichever is available. This helps remove loose hair and debris.
صحة البشرة
While American Shorthairs generally have healthy skin, making use of vet-approved moisturizers and shampoos can be beneficial.
الاستحمام
American Shorthairs should be bathed every 4 to 6 weeks. Use a gentle, hypoallergenic cat shampoo and make sure the coat is dried thoroughly.
تشذيب الأظافر
Trim their nails every 2 to 3 weeks, or until they get too long, using a cat-specific clipper.
العناية بالأذن
Their ears should be checked at least once a week and cleaned for any visible debris. Use a pet-safe ear cleaning solution and cotton balls.
العناية بصحة العين
These cats don’t need frequent eye cleaning, only when they get dirty. Use a soft, damp cloth and wipe outward.
العناية بالأسنان
Dental brushing is recommended daily for American Shorthairs. Use a pet-safe toothpaste and toothbrush.
