Maine Coons, with their long, thick coats, require regular grooming to prevent matting and maintain coat health. It is recommended to brush them at least twice a week using a stainless steel comb and a slicker brush to remove tangles and loose fur. During shedding seasons, more frequent grooming may be necessary to manage increased shedding. Additionally, check and clean their ears regularly to prevent infections, particularly because their tufted ears can trap dirt and debris. Bathing a Maine Coon monthly can also help keep their coat clean and reduce shedding.
