How To Groom Your Dog

20/06/22

A lot of dog owners ignore grooming completely, but it has to be done, even on short-haired dogs that don’t shed very much.

Grooming your dog is just as important as keeping your house clean.

Grooming Your Dog

A couple of simple brushes and combs are all you need.
Start by using a brush to remove any tangles in your dog’s coat.
Use it gently but firmly.
Next, use a Moult Master or a deshedding tool to remove dead hair and skin cells from your pet.
Then, check for fleas using a special flea comb.
You will need to buy different tools depending on the needs of your pet.
A Mikki Hard Pin Slicker Brush is great for long, dense and matted coats.

You will also need to clip the nails.
This can be very unnerving, but remember that the more nervous you are, the more nervous you will make your dog.
Special clippers are available from Petworld that are easy to hold, so you don’t end up hurting yourself or your pooch.

When bathing, make sure you use the correct shampoo.
To prolong the periods between baths, you can use Dog Cologne, which comes in many different scents.
People often use Dog Cologne on their pooch when they have visitors over!
Remember that starting to groom your dog at a young age will make it easier as he gets older.
He will even come to love it!
If he starts to get agitated, rub behind his ears until he calms down.
Give him a treat if he does well.
Regular grooming will mean that sessions become much shorter and his coat always looks shiny and beautiful.
Always use the tools that are right for your dog.
This will depend on the length of his coat, how active he is, any skin irritations he may have and many other factors.
