Why should I have my dog
groomed?
Most pet owners confuse "grooming" with "clipping." Clipping
(which is commonly done to poodles, spaniels, terriers, as well as
mixed breed dogs), is only one procedure in the grooming process. Groomings also include combing and brushing, cutting nails and
plucking hair from ears. Although the most obvious result of
these procedures is an improved appearance, the major benefits to
your pet are increased comfort and social acceptability, and perhaps
even improved health. |

Do all dogs need
grooming?
All dogs need an occasional bath, but it is more important to keep
your dog combed and brushed, especially if your dog has long hair.
Matted hair can easily cause skin problems and unnecessary
discomfort for your pet. If neglected for too long, it might
eventually necessitate a lengthy grooming session, which could be
uncomfortable for your pet and expensive for you. Regular
brushing on the other hand, improves your dog's skin tone and
circulation, and makes the coat healthier and more attractive. |
