Grooming is an important part of your dog’s health, with regular brushing
and combing to remove dead hair and dirt and prevent matting. Dogs that
are regularly groomed tend to have healthier and shinier coat because it
stimulates the blood supply to the skin.
Grooming your dog can also be a good way to bond with your dog, and
it’s important to get him used to it from an early age. Many dogs learn to
see routine brushing as an alternate petting, another source of affection
and attention. A good quality brush and comb will help you with your
dog’s coat, but also remember that your dog’s eyes, ears, and nails
require attention as well.
Regular grooming is essential to your dog’s health and well being. It will
stimulate the skin, and allow the natural oils to circulate to the coat. It
will also allow you to carefully check for potentially serious problems.
Check area for hair loss, inflammations, unusual tenderness or lumps
under the skin. Constant scratching in a particular area may also
be an indication of a problem. Check with your veterinarian about any
unusual problems found.
It is important to establish and adhere to a regular schedule of grooming
sessions. Longhaired dogs should be groomed daily, while shorthaired
breeds may require grooming only twice a week. You’ll soon see
what frequency your dog requires. Regular nail trimming is important to
your dog’s health and well being.
