An award-winning and industry leading pet grooming businses providing exemplary grooming services to all dogs and cats, no matter their size.

These techniques are a great way to maintain a semi-long-haired or long-haired coat. Especially if your cat is prone to matting underneath or is sensitive to grooming in this area.

The benefits of this service include:

  • Keeping clean
  • Stops urine tract infections
  • Comfortable
  • Full groom for Summer

Panel trimming entails trimming from the underarms down to the soft belly and groin area.

Sanitary trimming means clipping around the groin, genitals, bottom, and tail base.

The cost will depend on the severity of the matting and the temperament of the cat.

With both trims, the body is groomed out entirely.

Please have a look at our shop for suggested combs.

Top Tip: If you’re having issues grooming your cat, try feeding him/her twice a day, and while they are distracted by eating, this is when you groom.

Useful Information

Short Haired From £65 Inc VAT

Long Haired From £75 Inc VAT

  • We recommend resisting any cutting of the coat if possible, as not only does it spoil the natural beauty of the cat, but it causes the hair to grow back thicker and longer, and sometimes can stunt the regrowth!
  • Matted hair is uncomfortable for a cat and needs to be clipped off the cat by a professional.
  • Never use scissors on a cat; their skin is extremely loose and thin and can be cut easily.
  • If left, matts will restrict the movement of the cat and tear the hair out of the skin.
  • Once matting is removed, damaged skin is often uncovered where hair has been pulled out.
  • After matt removal, please discuss with our groomer a future grooming plan to avoid further matting.
  • Regular grooming avoids matting, keeps the skin healthy, and makes cats happy.

Judge, beautiful cat review by Natasha Evans

"The ladies at the salon are absolutely fantastic. They take care of my 8-year-old cat Judge, he can be very grumpy and is prone to matts. The ladies do an amazing job with him, and a lot of the time they're able to simply brush out the matts to avoid clipping him. I highly recommend the team, they're knowledgeable and are happy to share their knowledge with you as an owner as well to try and help avoid issues going forward. Always feel comfortable leaving him with them" - Judge's owner, Natasha Evans
Ozzie the Cat

Hi, we booked our Birman cat, Ozzie in with this company on Saturday 22/04/2023, and we must say how efficient, and very understanding they were after explaining that Ozzie was a rescue cat and had suffered an accident where he had to have a pelvic operation before we rescued him. After grooming dogs in my younger days, I was very apprehensive about taking him because of his history. I couldn't groom him properly, and it got to the stage where I had to get him groomed professionally. After having a consultation with the Kay & the girls and them explaining how they were going to go about grooming him, as he doesn't tolerate being brushed very well, we left him with the girls, feeling re-assured about how they would handle him. I was very nervous on going back to collect him, but to my great relief I need'nt of worried. Ozzie looked fabulous and seemed so calm after collecting him. We are definitely using this company again, and we'll re-book him to go back as discussed in 8 weeks. H
2023 Cat Review by Suzanne

"Absolutely Animals are amazing!! I really can't recommend them highly enough. When my mother passed away, one of her dying requests was for me to look after her beloved cat. When I flew to Canada, I found the poor animal was in a terribly matted state. The kind people at Absolutely Animals took care of her and even found her a little jumper to wear home. They really did go beyond the call of duty and all at a very reasonable price. Thank you again for all your hard work." All the best Suzanne
Review by Graham Watson

Have taken our rescue cat Ollie to AA twice this year for grooming as he is a large long haired tabby and needs lots of brushing. AA were brilliant, great service and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. - Graham Watson
Review by Alessia Stroni

"My cat Nyx is only about 4 months old now and she went in for a wet bath, conditioning, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. I am very pleased with the Absolutely Animals service! She smells very clean and her coat is shiny and fluffy. I will be going back in 8 weeks for another cleaning!" Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness Alessia Stroni
Friendly Review from Lee Gray

"Friendly and professional service. Overwhelmed how different our cat's fur felt after her grooming, her belly was a mass of matted fur and she didn't like us going near there with a brush. Fantastic job so happy I made that call thank you." Lee Gray

The Staff Were So... And the Results... Amazing.

“My cat HuHu got a nice grooming out at Absolutely Animals. The staff were so friendly and the results is amazing! His coat is smooth as silk now! Also I got some nice advices on how to do grooming at home. Absolutely worth to try if your cats have matted hair issues!” 2021 Review

"This letter certifies that I have known Ms Anderton and her family for many years and have always found her to be a thoroughly reliable and very capable person. She most certainly has the ability and sense needed for setting up her own business and exercising her very useful skills as a groomer. Her work is always first class, and her ability at handling difficult animals is not short of remarkable. I am sure she will well repay any effort put into training her in business methods, and I am happy to be recommending her to my bankers as a sound prospect for them to back. On the practical side, we are able at this surgery to provide a good number of recommendations of her skill to our own clients, safe in the knowledge that they will be pleased with her work. This clinic will give her all the backing we can, and she will surely find her work well appreciated by others as well."
