Do you want the best care for your Maine Coon cat?
We show you the 3 steps you must follow to achieve it
1. BRUSHING
- Maine Coon cats require regular care, the most important of which is brushing.
- Brushing 2-3 times a week will be enough to keep the coat untangled and help remove shedding hair.
- For a well-maintained coat, a thorough brushing with a slicker brush and comb will be sufficient.
- For a tangled coat, we must use a detangling spray conditioner to avoid pulling.
Grooming Mitt
The Artero Kira Double-Sided Mitt is for removing shedding hair from cats.
Slicker Brush
Artero Nala Slicker Brush with a flexible and articulated head. One side with protected pins to prevent scratching during intense work and the other side with regular pins for general work.
Rake
The Artero Echo Rake is designed to help remove excess loose hair and tangles.
Detangler
The Artero Matt-X detangler is perfect for untangling long hair without irritating the skin.
Comb
Artero double-pin comb is ideal for pulling out shedding hair and for very dense coats.
Shampoo
The Artero Speed Shampoo restores the coat's cleanliness of the first day without the need for washing.
2. BATHING
- Bathing is essential to maintain our cat's hygiene, eliminate bad odors, and remove dander.
- Conditioning the coat will help remove a large amount of shedding hair in the tub and help prevent future tangles.
- When we cannot bathe or our cat rejects water, we can perform a dry cleaning with damp cleaning gloves.
Shampoo for Long Hair

Conditioner

3. HYGIENE
- Ear hygiene is fundamental. Removing earwax (cerumen) and keeping the ear canals clean and ventilated will prevent possible infections and itching.
- The buildup of eye discharge (sleep/gunk) and dirt in the nose is common; cleaning these areas with finger cots (wipes) almost daily will be essential.
- Having a breath freshener for cats with bad breath can help with coexistence.
Dips Finger Cots for Ears
For proper ear hygiene, we will use Dips Finger Cots for Ears. These remove earwax (cerumen) and dirt from the external ear area.
Dips Finger Cots for Eyes
To remove tear stains and other secretions from the ocular area, we will use Dips 4CATS Finger Cots.
Bad Breath Spray
The Artero X-Mint will help us prevent bad breath in our pet, also protecting their teeth.
Ear Cleaner
The Artero Oto is the gel we will use to clean our cat's ear canals; it is easy to apply and removes excess wax and dirt.
Repair Cream
We will use Artero Dfender to cover, moisturize, and heal different dry areas on our pet, such as the paw pads or nose.
What is the Maine Coon Cat Like?
- Origin: United States.
- Characteristics: Large size, semi-long coat, tufted ears.
- Personality: Friendly, playful, gets along well with children and other animals.
The Maine Coon has a semi-long coat with a fine undercoat that tends to tangle less than the Persian's, but it still requires frequent brushing. A good leave-in conditioner can help with detangling.
Specific products for long-haired cats are recommended, which moisturize and strengthen the hair without losing volume. Its coat is usually thick in winter, so bathing should be adjusted according to the seasons.
