Grooming your dog is important. While brushing and bathing your dog, you get an opportunity to observe your dog’s coat. You can be on the lookout for parasites (fleas, ticks, etc.), injuries, and skin problems.
Check their ears to detect ear infections, and observe the footpads while inspecting their nails.
Your dog will come to enjoy the attention and touching. Combine with a little playtime and it can become a pleasant experience for both of you.
Think of dog grooming as preventive health care and a way to keep the vet bills down. Dog grooming includes not only brushing and bathing your puppy or dog but continues with his nails, ears and teeth. If these are not taken care of, there is a potential for health problems.
Dog Grooming gives you a chance to see small changes in and on your dog’s body that could lead to health concerns such as a lump or problems in his ears or with his teeth. Dog brushing can be a time of further bonding with your dog. This is some serious one on one time when he gets loads of your attention.
