Howard Bedor is New York City’s top cat groomer specializing in home visits for the Big Apple’s most pampered pets.

Bedor recognizes that although cat owners love their pets, proper grooming can be frustrating and time consuming. To minimize the stress on your cat (and you) during grooming, he believes that grooming should take place without the use of tranquilizers and where the cat is most comfortable – in the home.

Bedor’s most recent instructional video, Cat Grooming At Home, is the follow-up to his first highly acclaimed video release, Take Care Of Your Cat, Howard Bedor On Cat Grooming. These along with his book, Cat Grooming by Howard Bedor, are designed for use by professionals and pet owners. They teach the basic techniques necessary for grooming your cat for a healthy, long life. The video is available on DVD at HBCatGrooming.com.

Bedor’s extraordinary skills and special techniques have for five years earned him the title of Offical Groomer at the Madison Square Garden Show and the Cats Fancier’s Association’s “AdoptaCat Day at the Garden”, where he has been the authority on grooming.

Bedor is a consultant to and lecturer for various trade shows, other professional groomers, members of the ASPCA and cat clubs. He has provided his services to both the ASPCA and Bide-A-Wee for treatment of badly matted cats. He employs his many years of experience and genuine love of felines to calm even the most resistant and uncooperative cats.
