How to Keep White Cat Hair From Yellowing: Tips from Grooming Experts

White cats (like Persians or Silver Shorthairs) exude royalty, but they easily fall victim to yellowing and rust-colored stains around their eyes, mouth, and paws.

Porphyrins in their tears oxidize when exposed to air, staining the fur brown. Saliva from grooming and dirty litter boxes also contribute to the yellowing. While wiping their eyes and paws daily helps, deeply set stains require professional care.

Never use human bleach on your pets! At Pet NGON, our Spa Bathing Services utilize specialized, pet-safe whitening shampoos. We let the gentle foam sit to lift oxidized pigments without drying out their sensitive skin. (If excessive tearing is caused by a blocked tear duct, we will refer you to our vet partners first).

Restore your cat's pristine snow-white coat by booking a whitening bath at Pet NGON today!
