Dog Grooming 101

Ever watched your dog roll on the ground, lick her coat/fur or chew at a mat on her fur? These are our pet's way of keeping clean. Sometimes, though, they also need extra help from their owner to look and feel their best!

Dog grooming is one of your dog's basic needs and an important part of dog ownership. Dog grooming is very important. It keeps your dog clean, healthy and manageable, plus it also keep our dogs away from viruses that causes them to have infections. 

When we say Dog grooming, most of us think of having our dog visit the Dog salon or Spa to have our pets clean, but always remember that  Dog Grooming - not just for High-Class Citizens. Dog Grooming is for every kind of pet dog you could  a high-maintenance diva, or a scruffy, low-maintenance tough guy.

This article covers basic at-home grooming and ways to make the process more pleasant for everyone involved especially for our pets who sometimes give us hard time in grooming them.

Hair Brushing

Hair brushing is not only limited to long-haired dogs, brushing is for every kind of dog. Hair Brushing does not only to make their hair smooth and soft, but this was also proven to help stimulate blood flow and make your pet feel relaxed.  Stimulating the skin with brushing promotes proper oil distribution to the coat, which is essential to a shiny, healthy look and feel.

Bathing

Bathing Your Dog not only transforms him into a more pleasant-smelling companion, but promotes skin health and a shiny coat. Some of our pet dogs act goofy when they were put in the tub to be bath. They may start wiggling and bouncing over the place, and tend to nip at bath time. If this sounds like your pet, put a toy that he may play with so your pet can focus on the toy rather than on mouthing you.

Their fur serves as their crowning glory that's why it needs to be shiny and odor free :

Nail Trimming

Most dogs dislike even having their paws handled and know how much it hurts when nails are cut too short. Dog owners like me are often uncomfortable with the process for fear of hurting my dogs. Dogs will develop an aversion to nail trimming once they experience pain from it. The best way to avoid this is to learn how to trim nails correctly and exercise caution. To avoid having your dog being upset with nail trimmings, have your pet being used to having his feet being touched before you attempt a nail trim.

When shorter becomes better:

Tooth Brushing

Offers more benefits than the obvious. In addition to curbing doggie breath, it stimulates blood flow to the gums, removes plaque and tartar, and prevents gum (periodontal) disease. Your dog's teeth are important - because to date, effective doggie dentures have not been patented. 

To remove stubborn things such as tartar and plaque off your dogs' teeth:

Ear Care

Your dog's ears can be a haven for bacteria and yeast if not kept clean. Some dogs can go their whole lives without ear problems, and the only routine ear cleaning needed is during the monthly bath. Other dogs have chronic ear disease and require multiple cleanings a day.

Keep them clean up to their ears:
