Benefits of using a professional dog groomer

Professional Dog Grooming is not just about maintaining your dog’s level of cleanliness, and it is not just about keeping your dog good-looking. Grooming is about maintaining both your dog’s physical health as well as their appearance.  All too often do we focus on the physical appearance of our dog, do we often neglect the fact that we need to focus on the maintenance and ongoing health of the dog as it pertains to their oral hygiene, teeth, nails, and so on.

To do this you must begin training your dog to endure grooming while she is still a puppy. If you wait too long to begin the grooming sessions, your puppy may not be agreeable to it later on, especially when it comes to the more invasive services like professional breathe freshening, teeth cleaning, ear cleaning, or nail trimming.  Some of our friends aren’t so keen to getting introduced to these services as an adult dog, making it more difficult to complete the service, and takes much longer to complete that particular service.

BATH AND BRUSH
Brushing helps distribute the natural oils on your dogs coat.  Your dog’s coat contains natural oils, but since dogs don’t groom themselves as obsessively as cats do, they need a little help spreading those natural oils around. It will help them looks shiny and fabulous and prevent any greasy buildup.  A proper bath and brush also helps prevent painful mats. If you were ever a child on the playground and had a bully pull your hair, imagine that same painful sensation throughout your entire body. That’s what a dog feels when they get a series matting.  A consistent bath and brush allows you to find bumps and parasites you may not have otherwise have found. The most common benefit of a consistent bath and brush results in less shedding, and making your dog look absolutely beautiful.
 
FULL GROOMING
You can begin grooming a puppy when she is as young as three weeks old. Experienced breeders will even begin acquainting their puppies with grooming before they go to their new homes so that by the time they are picked up by their owners, they are already used to it.

Another benefit of grooming is that it allows you to check your dog for any abnormalities. This includes skin problems such as ticks, fleas and dry patches, or issues with their nails, teeth, ears, and eyes such as infection or inflammation. When found at an early stage, these problems can be treated right away, before they have a chance to become more serious.

BREATH FRESHENING
Professional breath freshening and teeth cleaning can be extremely beneficial for dogs of all sizes, and all ages.  The professional breathe freshening is great when it is, non surgical, non invasive, and a no anesthesia process which includes the removal of plaque and tartar.  There are groomers who provide before and after pictures, helping alleviate the stress of knowing their dog has received an exceptional cleaning without the use of surgical practices or anesthesia in order to clean their teeth and maintain proper oral health.
 
NAIL TRIMMING
The majority of dogs are requiring some sort of nail trimming treatment.  It is no secret that nail trimming allows your dog to walk comfortably. Nail trimming does help your dog to maintain proper posture which help with properly natural alignment and reducing potential injuries from running and/or walking.  Regularly trimming your dog’s nails, does provide a risk mitigation from future injuries. In some extreme cases, nails can overgrow and curl into the pad of the paw, creating some extreme forms of pain and agony. Nail trimming does prevent joint wear and tear, whereas they can naturally walk without overcompensating for nails which are too long. Trimming also recedes the nail quick.  The nail quick is the nerve ending that grows within the nail, itself. If you consistently trim the nail the quick recedes with the consistent trimming of the nail, allowing for more manageable trimming sessions. Lastly, properly nail trimming minimizes scratches on their faithful owners.

Simply put, grooming helps keep your dog happy and healthy, gives you and your dog piece of mind knowing their physical health is properly addressed from a grooming standpoint with hair, skin and nails as the primary focus.  So don’t delay, start grooming your puppy early, and start today.
