Do you need to groom a Turkish Van cat?

Yes, you do need to groom a Turkish Van cat to keep their semi-long-haired coat looking its best. Since their coat doesn’t have an undercoat, it’s less prone to matting, but brushing once or twice a week with a soft slicker brush or a bristle brush will help remove loose hairs and reduce shedding.

In addition to brushing their coat, it’s important to brush their teeth a few times a week to maintain good oral health and prevent dental issues. Regularly trimming their nails, about every couple of weeks, will keep them from getting too sharp or long.
