At PetWow, we provide professional cat grooming for pet owners in Highland Heights, KY and throughout Northern Kentucky. Conveniently located near Northern Kentucky University, our clinic has helped local pet owners care for their cats for over 50 years.

Grooming cats is very different from grooming dogs. Many cats are sensitive, easily stressed, or resistant to handling, which is why our grooming team takes a patient, careful, and experience-driven approach to every appointment.

Our Highland Heights cat grooming services are designed to keep your cat clean, comfortable, and healthy.

Services include:

• Bathing and drying
• Nail trimming
• Ear cleaning
• De-matting
• Sanitary trims
• Coat maintenance
• Sedated grooming when necessary

We tailor every grooming session based on your cat’s coat condition, temperament, and comfort level.

Even though cats groom themselves, many still benefit from professional grooming.

Cat grooming helps:

• ✅Reduce shedding and hairballs
• ✅Prevent matting and skin irritation
• ✅Keep nails at a safe length
• ✅Improve coat condition
• ✅Maintain overall hygiene

For long-haired cats especially, grooming is not optional—it’s essential.

Your cat may need professional grooming if you notice:

• Matted or tangled fur
• Excessive shedding
• Difficulty grooming themselves
• Overgrown nails
• Dirty or greasy coat
• Behavioral resistance to grooming at home

Cats often hide discomfort, so coat condition can be an early indicator that grooming is needed.

During your cat’s grooming appointment, you can expect:

1. A discussion of your cat’s grooming needs
2. Evaluation of coat condition and matting
3. Grooming performed by experienced professionals
4. Careful handling to minimize stress
5. A call when your cat is ready for pickup

Our goal is to keep the process as smooth and low-stress as possible.

Some cats simply cannot be safely groomed without sedation due to:

• Severe matting
• Aggression or anxiety
• Pain or sensitivity
• Age-related issues

Because PetWow is also a veterinary practice, we can offer sedated grooming under veterinary supervision when appropriate.

This allows us to:

✅ Safely remove severe matting
✅ Prevent injury to your cat and staff
✅ Complete grooming efficiently

Sedation is only used when necessary and only with your approval.

Our Highland Heights grooming appointments are designed to make the process simple and predictable.

Here’s what a typical grooming visit looks like:

1. ✅Drop off your cat during the morning drop-off window (7AM-9AM).
2. ✅Our team reviews your grooming notes and confirms what you would like done.
3. ✅You go enjoy your day!
4. ✅Meanwhile, your cat will be groomed by our professional grooming team.
5. ✅We call you as soon as your cat’s groom is complete.
6. ✅You pick up your cat at your convenience before closing.

For returning grooming clients, the process is even easier because we keep notes on your preferred haircut and grooming style. If you ever want something changed, you can simply let us know at drop-off.

Rabies vaccine note: All cats groomed at PetWow must be current on their rabies vaccine. This is both a legal requirement and an important safety measure for our team. If your cat is not up to date, our veterinary team may be able to update the vaccine for an additional charge.
