Do you want the best care for your Scottish Fold cat?
We show you the 3 steps you must follow to achieve it
1. BRUSHING
- Scottish Fold cats require minimal care, the most important of which is brushing.
- Brushing 1 time a week will be enough to remove the hair shed from the follicle.
- For very short hair, a rubber-studded glove will help brush and remove loose hair.
- For medium and thick hair, slicker brushes and rakes will be ideal for brushing and removing shedding hair.
Grooming Mitt
The Artero Kira Double-Sided Mitt is for removing shedding hair from cats.
Slicker Brush
The Artero Romeo Slicker Brush is ideal for brushing dense coats and preventing tangles and knots.
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.
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
Artero 4cats Shampoo is highly respectful of the skin and coat. Indicated for long hair.
Conditioner
Super-moisturizing conditioner Artero Mascarilla 4Cats Vital for caring for the coat of all types of cats.
Hygiene Gloves
The Artero Plis Plas 4CATS gloves, ideal for daily use and disposal to maintain pet cleanliness.
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 Scottish Fold Cat Like?
- Origin: Scotland.
- Characteristics: Ears folded forward, compact body.
- Personality: Sweet, calm, and loyal. May have genetic problems if not bred responsibly.
The Scottish Fold has a short or semi-long, dense, and soft coat, which stays in good condition with regular brushing. Hygiene wipes help keep the ears clean, as their folded shape can accumulate more dirt.
Being a calm breed, it readily accepts gently applied products and calm routines.
