My name is Sue and I have been grooming for over 15 years here are a few tips to keep your pet in tip top condition.
Grooming is an important part of caring for your dog and cat. and it varies from breed to breed. Some dogs need brushing and combing regularly every day , others less often, but you must always remember, this helps keep your dog or cat happy and contented.Think how you would feel if you didn't brush your hair for a week.
Very unhappy !!
Certain breeds need professional grooming every six weeks, some as little as three times a year. Long coats need a lot of attention,
grooming daily, and non-shedding coats means
just that, dogs with these types of coats do not
moult. They do however need to be clipped on a
regular basis, as much as every two-three months.
Ears need to be plucked, any excess hair removed,
nails clipped with great care and bathed.
Dead hair has to be removed or your dog will
become very matted and uncomfortable. Some dogs come in to me feeling unhappy, but after a good groom and bath, they go away feeling as young and playful as a puppy again with tail wagging.
Some dogs have smooth coats, these are the easiest coats to groom. Labradors, Boxers, Dobermans, Greyhounds and Whippets are all smooth coated dogs, however, they still benefit from being groomed, bathed, nails clipped and ears cleaned.
It is important to groom long haired cats on a daily basis otherwise they get matted and a matted cat is not a happy cat !!!!!!! If a cat is there is normally only one option left which is to shave the area.
