Expert Care
Professional Rabbit Grooming
Gentle, expert grooming tailored to your rabbit's breed and temperament. Every session is designed to keep your companion healthy, comfortable, and looking their best.
Grooming Built Around Your Rabbit's Comfort
At Beh & Yo, grooming is never rushed. Our trained groomers understand rabbit behaviour — the subtle signs of stress, the gentle handling each rabbit requires, and the patience needed to earn your rabbit's trust.
We focus on gentle handling and low-stress grooming techniques to help rabbits feel safe and comfortable throughout the grooming process. Over the years, Beh & Yo has also developed our own specialized handling and grooming techniques designed to improve comfort, safety, and efficiency during grooming sessions.
We believe grooming should always be done with the rabbit's comfort and emotional state in mind. Some rabbits may feel stressed, uncomfortable, or simply not in the mood for grooming on certain days. In such situations, we do not force the grooming process, and we will adjust our approach according to the rabbit's condition and tolerance level.
Our experience with rabbits allows us to tailor each grooming session based on the rabbit's behaviour, condition, and individual needs.
Every grooming session begins with a brief consultation so we can better understand your rabbit and provide the most suitable care possible.
Our basic grooming package covers the essential care needed to keep your rabbit comfortable and well maintained. This includes nail trimming to help prevent overgrowth and discomfort, scent gland cleaning to remove buildup, and basic brushing to help keep the coat clean and tidy.
Full GroomingOur full grooming package includes everything in the basic package, along with more thorough fur care for rabbits that require extra maintenance. This includes trimming of matted or heavily soiled fur for better comfort and hygiene, detailed brushing to remove loose fur and undercoat, and careful scent gland cleaning to help prevent buildup and irritation.
Four simple steps

- 3. Health check — Every session includes a quick wellness assessment. We'll flag anything that needs veterinary attention.
- 4. Happy handover — We walk you through what we did, share any observations, and schedule your next visit if you'd like.
Professional rabbit grooming
Beh & Yo's grooming skills are not learned overnight — they are the result of 20 years of hands-on experience, developed through grooming our own rabbits and continuously refined over time. Over these two decades, we have groomed more than 30,000 rabbits with a strong focus on gentle care, comfort, and consistency.
All groomers across Beh & Yo's flagship stores undergo strict and structured training. Each groomer completes at least 1 full year of intensive training, learning, and practical assessment before being certified. At the core of our system lies one fundamental principle: deep understanding of rabbit anatomy combined with correct, gentle handling techniques.
Gentle handling, proven results
Beh & Yo has developed a unique grooming and handling method that focuses on helping rabbits naturally relax, ensuring a safe, stable, and comfortable position during grooming, and minimising stress through proper, gentle handling.
We do not force a rabbit to be groomed. We never clamp a rabbit with our legs; instead, we use our legs as a comfortable platform for the rabbit to rest. Rabbits are allowed to move or turn naturally — grooming is performed with care, respecting the rabbit's comfort and safety at all times.
- Low children's chair height ensures safety if a rabbit jumps from the lap
- Soft floor mat prevents hard landings in case of a jump
- Rabbits can flip over or move anytime — they are never restrained
- Grooming follows the rabbit's natural body curvature
Beh & Yo Method vs Trancing Method
Beh & Yo's method is a gentle, safe, and stress-free approach that respects the rabbit's natural behavior and spine health, while trancing relies on immobilization and carries higher risk of stress or injury.
| Our Method Beh & Yo Method | Trancing Method | |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Gentle, supportive, follows natural curvature (not trancing) | Forces the rabbit into a rigid, flat-back position |
| Rabbit's State | Awake, aware, and free to move | Temporarily paralyzed (tranced), unable to move |
| Safety | Proven safe: 20 years, 30,000+ rabbits, zero leg or backbone injuries | Risk of spinal, leg, and muscle injuries |
| Freedom | Can flip over or move anytime | No control over their body |
| Setup | Low chairs + thick soft padding = safe jump down | Usually on tables or high surfaces |
| Purpose | Health-only care (nails, fur, glands) | Often includes cosmetic styling |
| Stress Level | Low stress, calm, and positive | High stress, fear, and discomfort |
| Long-Term Impact | Builds trust, strengthens bond | Can cause fear and trauma |
| Experience & Proof | 20 years of research. 30,000+ rabbits. Proven safe & efficient. | No proven safety record |

Grooming frequency depends on coat type.
Short or normal coat rabbits should be groomed at least once every 1–2 months, with more frequent brushing during shedding periods.
Long-haired rabbits require more frequent grooming, ideally at least once a month, and in many cases weekly grooming is recommended to prevent tangles and matting.
If matting is already severe, more frequent or professional grooming may be needed.
Unfortunately, no. While many grooming shops offer services for a wide range of pets, we focus exclusively on rabbits only.
Rabbits require very specific handling techniques and a calm, controlled environment, as they are more sensitive and can become stressed easily compared to other animals. By focusing only on rabbits, we are able to provide a more specialised, stress-free grooming experience with proper care tailored specifically to their needs.
Please arrive on time for your appointment, as each grooming session is allocated a specific time slot for every rabbit.
If you are going to be late or need to cancel, kindly inform us as soon as possible by calling us.
We will always try our best to accommodate late arrivals, however on busy days, rescheduling may be required to ensure all rabbits receive proper care and attention within their allocated time.
Of course! You can view our before and after grooming results in The Gallery. Alternatively, feel free to contact us directly and we'll be happy to share more examples with you.
We generally do not recommend trimming or styling a rabbit's coat for cosmetic purposes. A rabbit's coat length is a natural genetic trait, and it will grow back to its original form within a short period of time.
Rabbits are also more sensitive to grooming compared to cats and dogs, and can become easily stressed during unnecessary handling. For this reason, we focus on grooming for comfort, hygiene, and welfare rather than styling, while maintaining the rabbit's natural appearance.
In cases of severe matting, we recommend shaving rather than dematting. Rabbits have very sensitive skin, and attempting to detangle tight mats can cause pain, skin stress, or injury.
After shaving, the coat will grow back naturally—typically within 1–2 months for most rabbits. For long-coated breeds such as English Angora, full coat recovery back to its original length and texture may take around 3–4 months, depending on the individual rabbit.
At Beh & Yo, our priority is always the rabbit's comfort, safety, and long-term coat health.
This is one of the most common questions we receive.
We classify coat type based on fur length and the overall look of the coat:
Short coat — Rabbits with fur under 4cm, or rabbits where the short fur is the main coat type on the body. If 50% or more of the coat is under 4cm, the rabbit is classified as short coat.
Long coat — Rabbits with fur longer than 4cm, or rabbits where long fur is the main coat type across most of the body. If more than 50% of the body fur is longer than 4cm, the rabbit is classified as long coat.
This classification helps us determine the most suitable grooming method, handling approach, and maintenance schedule for each rabbit.
The most suitable grooming type for your rabbit depends on several factors, including coat condition and coat type, breed, age, temperament and cooperation and presence of knots, matting, stains, or impacted coat.
During the initial consultation, our groomers will assess your rabbit's condition and recommend the most appropriate grooming approach based on your rabbit's individual needs.
Our priority is always your rabbit's comfort and overall grooming experience.
Estimated grooming durations:
- Basic grooming: approximately 15 minutes
- Full grooming / severe de-matting: approximately 30 minutes to 1.5 hours
- Full body shave: approximately 1 to 3 hours, depending on coat condition and the rabbit's cooperation
Some rabbits may require additional time, rest breaks, or a gentler handling approach to minimise stress during the grooming session. We recommend checking with our groomers beforehand for a more accurate estimate based on your rabbit's individual condition.
No. We are not a veterinary clinic and do not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
However, due to our experience handling and grooming rabbits regularly, we may sometimes share general observations or basic care suggestions based on what we commonly see during grooming sessions. These should not be considered professional veterinary advice.
If your rabbit appears unwell, has ongoing symptoms, or if you are uncertain about your rabbit's condition, we strongly recommend consulting a licensed veterinarian for proper examination, diagnosis, and treatment.
Although rabbits regularly groom and clean themselves, maintaining a proper grooming routine is still very important for their overall comfort, hygiene, and wellbeing.
Grooming is not simply for appearance or cosmetic purposes. A well-maintained coat helps rabbits stay cleaner, more comfortable, and less prone to skin issues and other health problems caused by poor coat condition or inadequate hygiene.
Rabbits also swallow a large amount of fur while self-grooming and, unlike cats, they are unable to cough hair out as hairballs. Excessive fur ingestion may contribute to gut slowdown or digestive issues, which can become dangerous. Regular brushing helps remove loose fur and minimise the amount swallowed during self-grooming.
Routine grooming also allows owners and groomers to monitor the rabbit's:
- Skin and coat condition
- Nail length
- Cleanliness and hygiene
- Presence of knots, matting, parasites, or abnormalities
Different rabbits have different grooming needs depending on their breed, coat type, age, and living environment.
