✅ Benefits of regular dog grooming appointments-
🛁 Better hygiene and smell! Of course one of the most obvious benefits of getting your dog groomed are the hygiene benefits. Cleaning and brushing away all that dead skin and buildup can do wonders to your dog’s hygiene and smell.
🤯Early detection of any skin and health issues If you start going to a groomer regularly, they’ll become familiar with your dog and if there are any abnormalities. These could include bumps and lumps that you’ve perhaps missed or can’t see it home. Detecting these issues early on is key in stopping the spread of any serious condition.
👁 Reduces the chances of ear, eye & hygiene area problems/infections Getting rid of the gunk and buildup in your dog’s ears, eyes & hygiene area is important in preventing any infections & discomfort. As well as this, your groomer will be able to trim any of the lengthier parts of hair which could be causing issues.
🐾Trimming nails reduces the risk of developing bad posture or bone deformations Trimming your dog’s nails is often overlooked but is an essential part of your dog’s wellbeing. Nails that grow too long can be uncomfortable for your dog to walk on. They may change their posture to better accommodate longer nails. This can create larger problems if left untreated. Arthritis, bone deformations and bad posture are just some of the ailments that can occur from leaving your dog’s nails long.
🐶Healthy and shiny coats which shed a lot less Regardless of your dog’s breed or hair length, taking your dog to the groomer to get washed and brushed will help with the condition and quality of their coat. Just brushing alone helps to remove dead skin, dirt and anything else lurking. It also helps to spread the natural oils over their coat, making it appear shinier and healthier.
✂️ Removing or prevent matts If your dog has medium-long fur, it is highly likely that they will develop matts. Left untreated these matts can grow large and pull aggressively on the skin. If these are in sensitive areas or are tight, they can give your dog a lot of discomfort, pain & skin sores/problems. Regular brushing and grooming eliminate the chances of matts developing. In some cases the only option is to take the coat short all over for you dogs sake.
😖Check and treat fleas Fleas are unfortunately an inevitability that comes with owning a dog. A benefit of going to a groomer is they will be able to check for fleas and their eggs. Regular washing, brushing, and clipping of fur will help in ceasing the growth of fleas.
🤩Makes them look better Now aside from all the obvious health benefits to your dog from a regular grooming session, one of the main benefits is that they’ll actually look better! An unkempt appearance can reflect poorly on you as the owner, so making sure they look neat and tidy can be better for you too!
