Keeping Your Pet Well Groomed and Clean

There’s a good chance that you have a regular grooming routine for yourself. Even if it’s nothing fancy, you shower, brush your hair, and brush your teeth regularly. You do this for several reasons, including keeping hair knots and odor at bay. Your dog needs this care, too. Learn more about why and how to make it happen in this guide from our team at Dogs Gone Country.

Why Regular Dog Grooming Is Important

Your dog’s hair can get tangled just as easily as your hair can. Sadly, when this happens, it can prevent its natural oils from spreading, which can lead to dry skin and other conditions. Additionally, tangles can hide fleas and more, while trapping odors and leaving them much smellier than you’d prefer.

Regular grooming, however, can prevent those tangles, which reduces the areas where fleas, parasites, and odors can hide. Each time you brush, you spread the natural oils and can inspect their skin for any abnormalities.

How to Start a Grooming Routine 

For the best results, you need a combination of home and professional grooming. The following tips can help:

• Brush your pet’s coat at least twice a week. More often is better for long-haired, older, or outdoor dogs.
• Aim to bathe your dog once a month – more often if they’ve gotten into something messy.
• Trim their nails every month or six weeks.
• Be sure you’re taking your pet to a groomer for anything you’re not comfortable with.
• Consider bringing them to our dog boarding facility once every six weeks for a day or weekend off. While they’re here, they can get a full grooming experience – leaving you with nothing but maintenance between visits.
