What is Holistic Grooming?

Holistic Grooming isn’t just some hippy-dippy catch phrase, but a philosophy and practice that appreciates that the animals we groom are sentient beings with their complex thoughts and needs.

Holistic grooming involves considering the whole picture of the individual animal, recognizing that what works for one animal may not work for another. With this in mind, a Holistic Groomer will adapt to the specific needs of the animal being groomed, rather than forcing them to fit into “normal” grooming techniques or what other animals do.

Holistic Grooming is not just about the physical act of the groom; it is also about understanding that the mind and body are inextricably linked. You can't have a dog looking its best when its mind and body are not performing their best. The ideal outcome for a fantastic, holistic groom isn’t just a beautiful haircut, but a happy animal.

Holistic Grooming — Designed Just for Cats

At The PetHouse, we believe cats aren’t just small dogs; they’re unique creatures with delicate needs, subtle cues, and high standards. That’s why our grooming is cat-specific, holistic, and intentionally low-stress from start to finish.

It’s a myth that cats don’t need to be groomed. While they do a great job maintaining themselves, they can't manage shedding, matting, hairballs, or skin health on their own. Regular, professional grooming helps prevent painful mats, improves coat condition, reduces allergens, and supports overall wellness, especially for long-haired, elderly, or overweight cats.

Our certified groomers are trained not only in technique but in feline behavior, aromatherapy-safe practices, TTouch, and gentle handling that honors your cat’s boundaries. We never rush, restrain unnecessarily, or use harsh products. Every grooming session is tailored to your cat’s coat type, temperament, and health, using natural, non-toxic products designed to nourish skin and fur without irritation.

Whether your cat needs a full de-shed, a sanitary trim, or just a spa day to feel their best, you’ll find no better place on the Central Coast that understands — and respects — the feline experience like we do.

Because cats don’t just need grooming, they need grooming that’s done right.
