Grooming Basics:

Dog grooming is one of your dog's basic needs and is an important part of owning a dog. Dogs need physical maintenance, IE: Grooming, Exercise, and proper Diet to look and feel their best. It is good for us that dogs do not need to bathe as often as people, but you do need to learn how much grooming your dog actually needs and keep it on a schedule. Generally, a dog’s grooming needs depend on the breed and hair type. If your dog has a skin, ear or nail condition, follow your veterinarian’s instructions regarding grooming your dog. It is also important to use the appropriate grooming tools, like our professional groomin supplies. Here are some dog grooming basics to remember.

Most dogs enjoy being brushed, and sessions will strengthen the bond with your dog while maintaining a healthy coat. A dog’s minimum brushing needs depend on hair type. Choose the right tools and follow these guidelines.

• Long-haired dogs usually require daily brushing to prevent matting and tangling of hair.

• Medium-haired dogs may be prone to matting and tangles and should be brushed at least weekly.

• Short-haired dogs can typically go up to a month in-between brushing.

This however depends on the environment he’s in and where he’s been and what he’s been into lately.

Regardless of hair type, you can brush your dog daily - especially if he enjoys it. More frequent brushing during shedding season can help prevent hair build-up and excess shedding.

Keep the nails trimmed. Several different products are made for this and should be used regularly. Untrimmed nails can be harmful to you dog.
