Thread: Maine Coon Grooming Basics

I am new to Maine Coon ownership. I have recently bought the new Furminator to help with shedding, a matting comb and a flea comb.

I am told to keep mats from forming and to keep his hair in shape, I need to groom him every day - at least once or twice. But I have had a lot of people say that using the Furminator everyday is bad and can irritate their skin. People tell me that I need to only use a slicker brush during my grooming sessions and only use the Furminator 2 times a week or so.

I want to know what your thoughts are on this and what your ideals of Maine Coon grooming is.

Thank you.
