Clean dogs and good hygiene
A clean dog is a healthy and happy dog. You know as well as anyone that a dog doesn’t need to be bathed every day. Thank goodness! It’s hard to just getting them to remain still! But if a dog spends lots of time outside rolling around in the mud, it will need more baths! Their coats will track a lot of dirt, and long-haired breeds trap too. Most people think grooming is just limited to bathing and brushing. Yes, brushing is important. It removes dead hair and dander and stimulates new hair growth and better circulation for the skin.
But, it’s actually a lot more than just keeping the coat clean. Full-service grooming includes trimming nails, cleaning teeth, and preventing infection in the ears! Did you know that not trimming long nails on a dog could affect the dog’s gait? Keeping them clean and comfortable with regular grooming will lead to a happy pup!
Identify health issues
While grooming your pet, we will be able to identify issues such as long nails that can lead to walking problems, proper grooming can make a difference in a dog’s health! While brushing their coats changes in their skin conditions can be identified. As a professional groomer we are trained to see abnormalities in your pets coat, and skin condition. a bump, scab, skin disease, or infection can be detected so you as an owner can take the proper steps to care for you pets hygiene, and or consult with your Veterinarian other treatments.
Relieve pain
Owners should be brushing their dogs between grooming appointments. This way, they can maintain the health of their pets, and prevent mats. Mats are tangled and flattened patches of hair. The closer a mat gets to the surface of the skin, the more painful it is for a dog. The tight tension caused by mats lead to itchiness. If the dog scratches the mats and the underlying skin excessively, they could open up wounds for infections.
Mats provide a good breeding ground for fleas and other parasites that may have hopped on when the dog was playing outside. Removing mats carefully and with the appropriate tools can remove the irritation and pain. You’ll also make it easier to rid the dog of parasites.
When should you groom a dog?
Now that we know grooming is important, how often should a dog be groomed?
Grooming should start at an early age—as young as 8 weeks! Sometimes dogs freak out if they’re suddenly brought to an unfamiliar environment. If owners introduce their puppies to the process of grooming at a young age, you’ll have a much easier time. It also helps them establish a healthy routine early on!
How often should owners take their dogs in for a grooming appointment?
Every 6 weeks is recommended
