Basics Tips Of Dog Grooming

As with humans, it is important that our dogs and pets maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep up their appearances. It is our main goal to make the process of grooming as enjoyable as possible for the dog, starting slowly and rewarding with treats! If your dog is new to grooming then it is best to break up the process over several days, as some grooming treatments are needed less frequently than others. Most of all, we want you to enjoy this experience and create a special bond with your perfectly pampered pooch.

Nails, Brushing, Bathing, and Trimming are all areas that require special attention, read on if you want to find out more!

Haircuts:-

Dogs with continuously growing hair, typically need their hair cut every four to six weeks depending on the breed of the dog and the style of the cut. This task is often best left to professional groomers, though many dog owners can learn some basic maintenance haircuts. If you are interested in learning professional dog grooming skills, consider taking a few classes.

Bathing:-

Once brushed, a dog may need full pampering in the bath! A common reason to bathe a dog is to remove unpleasant odors and dirt that have accumulated on its body. As your dog is benefiting from frequent hair brushing, the need for a full bath should generally be once a month. Your local vet can provide guidance as to whether your dog would benefit from a more frequent bathing schedule.

Teeth:-

Dogs are prone to periodontal disease and dental problems from as young as three years old. Gum disease can cause abscesses, heart disease, and worse, teeth falling out. Daily dental care can help to avoid the buildup of bad bacteria, chewing also helps keep teeth and gums healthy and is a natural behavior for a dog. Progress slowly at first, by allowing the dog to lick and sniff the toothpaste, specially made for dogs (never use human toothpaste). Use fingertips, to begin with, and gradually work towards using a dog toothbrush. If your dog seems irritated by this technique there are dental sprays and wipes that can be used instead.

Ear Care:-

The ears, eyes, and paws of a dog require special care and attention to avoid the outbreak of infections and discomfort. Ears should be cleaned with an ear cleaner or witch hazel on a cotton ball. If the cotton balls come out of the gunk, there is likely to be an infection and you should seek medical advice. If your dog shows no signs of an ear problem, it is usually best to leave them alone.

Nail Trimming:-

Nail trims are often disliked by dogs and owners alike. Most dogs prefer not to have their paws handled and know how much it hurts when nails are cut too short. Dog owners are often uncomfortable with the process for fear of hurting their dogs.

Dogs will develop an aversion to nail trimming once they experience pain from it. The best way to avoid this is to learn how to trim nails correctly and exercise caution. Ideally, a veterinary technician, vet, or groomer should teach you how to trim your dog’s nails. Most dogs need monthly nail trims, but your dog may need more or less depending on the rate of growth and activity.
