🐾 Handsome Gus came in for his de-shed 🐾
Gus is one of the biggest dogs we groom here at Home from Home Dog Grooming, but despite his size, he's really just one giant baby! 💙
This beautiful-tempered Doberman can be a little worried by new things and is often scared of just about everything, but once he's settled into the salon and we've started his grooming process, he's good as gold.
To help Gus feel as comfortable as possible, I adapt his groom to suit him. Rather than de-shedding him on the grooming table, I do this part of his groom on the salon floor where he's much more relaxed and confident. Every dog is different, and sometimes a few small adjustments can make all the difference to their grooming experience. ✨
And wow, did Gus have some coat to give today! 😲 The amount of loose hair that came out was incredible.
Regular de-shedding is so important, especially for short-coated breeds like Dobermans. It helps remove dead hair, reduces shedding around the home, keeps the skin and coat healthy, improves air circulation through the coat, and leaves your dog feeling much more comfortable.
As you can see from the photos, Gus also took his reward for being such a brave boy very seriously and carefully selected exactly which treats he wanted today! 🍖😂
Well done, Gus. You may be a big lad, but you'll always be our gentle giant. ❤️
