Why Groom Your Dog?
- 24/02/2011
Dog grooming is a vital part in keeping your dog health, clean and happy. This is also important like diet, vaccinations and others so that dogs are maintained healthy. It can do more and not just about keeping your dog look better but making him satisfied and happy both inside and outside. Some of the importance of dog grooming is indicated below.
Brushing your dog's coat:
Brushing the coat regularly will prevent matting. If this could be overlooked in can cause your dog to feel uncomfortable and can even develop skin diseases and irritation. Brushing also removed dead skin cells and avoids scratching.
Bathing:
When bathing your dog always use dog shampoo and conditioner. This will not only keep your dog's coat clean and healthy but will also prevent itching, irritation and dry skin. It allows also the dog owners to detect any presence of fleas, ticks and lice and other signs of skin problems.
Cleaning teeth:
When dog's teeth are left unclean this could result to gum and mouth diseases. This can also cause bad breath and damage teeth that will fall out. Sometimes, this makes the dog malnourished if he can't eat properly because of his tooth problem. This can also lead to other health problems when your dog ingests bacteria from their mouth.
Cleaning ears:
This also helps in preventing chronic ear infections and other problems. When dog ears are cleaned at least once a week, this can prevent the possible growth of bacteria and yeast that can grow inside the ears resulting to ear problems later on.
Trimming dog's nails:
This will prevent overgrown nails that will make your dog to walk awkwardly if not cut soon. This can also cause bleeding and paw infection. Thus regular trimming of it will prevent these problems. Just make sure to cut only the tip of the nail and avoid hitting the veins.
The importance of dog grooming cannot just be overlooked because it can do a lot in keeping your dog healthy, happy and clean all the time. Health risks are greatly reduced and dogs are free from any health problems and infection as well.
