De-shed season is coming! As the weather is warming up, our furry friends are going to be dropping their winter coats, and a good de-shed can assist with this process. Regular de-shedding helps to maintain the health of a dogโs coat by removing dead and loose hair, which can cause matting, tangles, and skin irritation. De-shedding also stimulates the growth of new hair and promotes a healthy and shiny coat. It also means less mess around the house! Contact Scrub A Dub Dogs today to book an appointment โบ๏ธ๐พ
Tunna is here to let everyone know that we are heading into deshed season! If youโd like to secure a spot for your dog with us, feel free to reach out at [email protected] ๐พ๐
Coltโs first groom โบ๏ธ getting groomed can be a pretty scary experience for most dogs, so if youโre thinking of getting a puppy, here are some important tips to help make the grooming process easier on them (and your groomer ๐)
The most important thing to know is that puppies need to be desensitised early so that itโs not so scary when theyโre adults. Hereโs a couple of ways to desensitise your puppies before taking them to the groomer:
๐พTouching and holding their feet often - most dogs hate having their feet touched if they arenโt used to it, which makes clipping nails and any shaving and scissoring of the feet more difficult
๐พ Start bathing and blow drying at home as soon as you can, a normal hairdryer works fine ๐ start by turning on the hairdryer and pointing it away from them, and rewarding them if they exhibit calm behaviour. Gradually bring the dryer closer, starting with their feet and working your way up
๐พ Leash desensitivity! Not only will this make walking your puppy on a leash much easier, but your dog will be tethered when groomed and this will be a lot easier if they are used to wearing a leash
๐พ For dogs that will eventually require regular haircuts, get your dog used to having their face and ears touched
๐พ Lastly, get your dog to a groomer as soon as they are fully vaccinated (usually around 12 weeks old), even if for just a bath and blowdry. As they get older and go more frequently, they will know what to expect and the whole thing will be much less stressful on everyone โบ๏ธ
