Good Dog Grooming Helps Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy

by Michael Frederick

Do you have a dog that you love? Do you lack the time or inclination to keep your pup well groomed? Possibly you should consider a pet grooming service. A professional pet groomer can make your dog feel great, smell good, and look fabulous. A pet groomer will provide more than just a good wash. You can get your dog massaged, their ears checked and cleaned, nails trimmed, teeth brushed, and so much more.

Dogs in particular need to be cleaned and taken care of properly. Grooming is especially important in the hot summer months to help keep them cool. A regular, refreshing bath is one of the dog grooming basics. This task may require more than spraying water on your pet, rubbing shampoo and rinsing it off. A professional groomer will use proper supplies, such as shampoos and special dog brushes, to properly clean and groom the dog.

One aspect of dog grooming involves giving the dog a haircut. Granted, not all dogs need this attention, but for those who do, it's imperative to find someone who has the proper tools, and can do a decent job. You can almost always tell if a dog has had a "homemade" haircut. Usually it looks choppy, uneven, and just plain unsightly. Poor pooch! I recommend a professional groomer for this task.

Grooming of your dog should also include proper dental care. You dog needs to have his teeth brushed the same as humans do. It is important that you have this done by someone who can do a good job. If you're not qualified to handle this task, take your pooch to a professional dog groomer. There your pup will receive a good thorough teeth brushing, and the results will be healthier teeth and better smelling breath.

Have you ever trimmed a dog's toenails? If so, you understand how scary, unpleasant, and sometimes painful it can be for your pup if you cut into the quick of the nail. And other than to yelp in pain or run under the bed, your dog can't give you very good feedback on how you're doing as the work is in progress. This is one aspect of dog grooming that is best left to the professional. The pro has the proper tools, and can handle the job with ease. With the job done well, your pooch will not be able to scratch up your furniture, upholstery, floors, and clothing. Nail care is absolutely essential for the comfort and health of your pet!

While your pup is at the groomer's, make sure he gets his ears checked and cleaned. Proper cleaning of your dog's ears is important for good grooming and overall health, since hearing is one of the most important of their senses. As part of a preventative ear care program, and to minimize the chance of an ear infection occurring, have your dog's ears tended to once a month, if possible.

As pet owners, we are all responsible for keeping our dogs in the best, healthiest condition possible. That includes proper grooming. Since a dog has limited ability to clean its coat, teeth, and ears, it's our duty to make sure these tasks are done correctly. A dog grooming service will come in handy for this. Give your pooch the loving care he deserves! - 20511
