Dog Grooming - Well Groomed is Well Cared For

Well-groomed is well cared for

Another important factor that contributes a lot to your dog’s health is good grooming. Don’t be fooled into thinking grooming is just a matter of brushing his hair. Grooming your dog accomplishes much more than just making your pet's coat look nice and shiny. Grooming also helps you bond with your puppy. It helps you spend time with him. Combing, brushing, and bathing are all activities he should get used to and gradually he will associate these functions with the pleasant times both of you had.

You will be able to check your dog closely for any problems while grooming. Move the hair aside and examine the skin closely for signs of flea, ticks or skin irritations. Look for any unusual problems with the coat such as mats, tangles or dandruff. Mats and tangles can be carefully removed while grooming. Learn where he likes to be combed and brushed and where he doesn't.

All dogs have sensitive areas that need to be groomed a little more gently and carefully than others. By paying special attention to these areas, you will help make your dog more comfortable while being groomed, and he will not resist future grooming sessions. You will also become familiar with areas that he enjoys having groomed. This is helpful if you need to calm him during stressful times such as veterinary visits. Grooming requirements vary from breed to breed, some requiring daily brushing and combing, others less often. Some dogs may also need professional grooming; this can be as often as every six weeks, or as little as twice a year.
