Grooming Is Good
- 05/07/2011
There are a lot of good arguments to why grooming is important for your dog. Don't be a miserable owner and ignore the grooming part when it comes to your companion's health and hygiene! I guess, that you all know that a dog does benefit from grooming and that you have already done it on occasions - but do you know why it is so important? Will knowing what we are going on about make you take it up on a more regular basis? We know that our little friends need a good shampoo from time to time because one of their favourite pastimes is rolling in the dirt, we also know that it doesn't look good when their hairs are all tangled up - and no, the 'just got out of bed' look doesn't fit well to dogs! We suggest you read on to learn a few essential things that you might not know about dog grooming.
Through grooming your dog on a regular basis, you can free them of dead hairs and skin cells. As a result, their coat will be more glossy and healthy and allow for better air circulation and less sweating.
We often say how important it is to spot signs of health problems in our dogs. Through grooming, not only are you doing the obvious - but it could reveal the otherwise hidden signs of a problem.
This grooming session that we talk about will bring you closer to your dog. They like having all the attention and it also makes them feel far happier in themselves.
Grooming doesn't only cover going over their coat with a comb or brush, but also tending to their nails. They will need trimming from time to time and while you are down there, give the pads of their feet a check to see that all is a-okay.
As with gently brushing our own hair, the blood circulation will be improved from grooming your dog. All the essential nutrients needed to keep their coat in tip-top condition will be carried with the blood and dropped off in the hair's follicles.
Brushing or combing your dog on a regular basis will also boost the lymphatic system which has many functions within the body including taking care of their immune systems.
If your dog frequents parks or outdoor areas when walking, they are at risk from ticks which can be far more harmful than most people like to accept - they can be fatal if not removed. Grooming will help you to check for these nasties so they can be safely removed.
If you are really keen about dog grooming, there is usually some night classes offered in colleges and other public buildings - you only have to ask around or look on the web for information of classes in your area. You have seen what benefits grooming can have on not only the appearance but the health of your dog - don't let it become an optional errand.
