5 DOG GROOMING TIPS THAT EVERY DOG OWNER SHOULD KNOW

Posted on: 3/26/2019 at 3:32 PM
Keeping The Equipment Handy
Not all breeds of dogs require the same type of equipment. Dogs with shorter coats have different needs when compared with the ones with longer coats. Some of the important equipment that you should keep at hand are:
Bristle brush
Dog clippers
Slicker brush
Rubber brush
Pet vacuum

Brushing Regularly
The best way to ensure that there are no tangles on your dog’s coat is to brush regularly. It is a wise idea to start brushing at an early age so that your dog gets accustomed to the process.
Choosing the right shampoo
It is an absolute no-no to use human shampoo on dogs. A dog’s coat is different from that of a human and has different requirements. This is why it is advisable to use a dog shampoo for the best results.

Clipping of Nails
A pair of heavy-duty clippers that have snap-on attachments is well-suited for canines. Always pay attention to how the color of your dog’s skin changes while you are clipping them.
Hiring Professional Services
You could hire professional dog grooming services once in a while. This is especially beneficial when you need to give your dog a good message to help it feel relaxed.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GROOMING AND BATHING YOUR DOG

Posted on: 3/26/2019 at 3:20 PM
Bathing Your Dog
Bathing your dog when needed is an important part of general pet care. For dogs with healthy skin and a healthy coat, the most common reason to bathe is to remove an unpleasant odour or because they’ve accumulated dirt on their coat.

Drying Your Dog
While dogs will tend to instinctively shake off excess water after getting wet, you will probably also need to help them dry off with some large absorbent towels. After this, most dogs can be allowed to air dry naturally.

Grooming Your Dog
Brushing and combing your dog’s hair coat is an important part of general pet care. Brushing helps to keep your dog’s coat in good condition by removing loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

Trimming Hair
In addition to brushing, some dogs may need their hair trimmed from time to time. Your local veterinary clinic can advise and show you how to trim your dog’s hair safely or you may like to organised for the vet clinic or professional groomer to assist.

Brushing Different Breeds or Types of Dogs
Moreover, different types of dogs can require different brushes. It’s important to use a brush that is comfortable and suitable for your dog. Make sure the brush does not cause any physical discomfort to your dog.
Brushing should be a pleasant, soothing and relaxing activity for your dog. Talk to your local vet clinic and professional groomer for advice.
