Should Maine Coons Be Bathed?

Thou Shalt Bathe your Maine Coon Cat.
Your cat will need to be bathed at least once a month to help control the shedding and to keep his coat clean. With a Maine Coon cat's dense fur, dander is inevitable in the house. This breed also suffers during the summer month and feels enormous relief when freshly washed.

How do I take care of my Maine coon fur?

Maine Coon grooming is not limited to brushing their thick dense fur, which should be done 2-3 times a week to help prevent tangles and matting. Owners must also maintain their Maine Coons oral hygiene by brushing their cat's teeth regularly. Claws should be trimmed, especially indoor Maine Coon cats.
