Brush your dog’s coat regularly
Brush your dog’s coat regularly
Combining the fur improves blood circulation and helps spread the natural oils from their skin to the hair and make it look shinier.
Brushing their coat helps get rid of the shed fur, so there is less of it all around your house.
The frequency of brushing depends on your dog’s coat length and texture.
Giving a pawsome massage using essential oils is also beneficial. It provides antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects. It also detoxifies their body giving them relaxation.
Don’t bathe your dog too often.
Most healthy dogs don’t need bathing very often. Bathe your pup only to prevent hygiene issues and unpleasant odors.
Also, be cautious of the shampoo you are using. A dog’s skin has a different pH level from humans, so choose a soap-free shampoo specially formulated for dogs.
Do a regular checkup of your dog’s skin and ears.
Start by running your fingers through your dog’s coat, and look for unusual lumps or bumps—part the fur to examine the skin more closely for allergies, infections, or parasitic infestations.
Ear infections are common in dogs. Look if the insides of the dog ear are inflamed or moist or if the ear smells odd. Talk to the vet if you see any unusual symptoms.
Don’t use scented products on your dog.
Of course, you always want your dog to be very clean and sweet-smelling. But scented bath products can irritate your dog’s sensitive skin and nose.
Choose unscented products and the ones specially formulated for dogs.
Grooming is not always about making your dog appear handsome. It is mostly about maintaining the hygiene and health of your dog because if your dog is healthy, it will naturally look cute and beautiful.
Make grooming a fun experience for your dogs. Teach them to enjoy their grooming sessions. Be patient and give them lots of treats and praise so they will look forward to more such pampering sessions.
