10 lesser known facts about dog grooming
1.) Coat Types Matter: Different dog breeds have various coat types—double coats, curly, wiry, etc.—each requiring specific grooming techniques and tools.
At Purdy Fur, I provide personalized consultations to advise on the best grooming techniques and tools tailored to your dog's specific coat type.
2.) Regular Brushing Prevents Matting: Brushing your dog's coat regularly prevents matting and helps distribute natural oils for healthier fur.
I'll guide you with suitable brushes and techniques to prevent matting and maintain your dog's healthy coat.
3.) Teeth Cleaning is Essential: Dental hygiene is crucial for dogs. Regular brushing and dental treats can help prevent dental issues.
We can suggest dog-friendly toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental care products to help you maintain your dog's oral hygiene routine.
4.) Ear Cleaning is Important: Cleaning a dog's ears regularly helps prevent infections. Be cautious and use proper products to avoid damage.
Our vet-approved ear cleaning process ensures safe and effective ear care for your dog.
5.) Nail Trimming Needs Care: Trimming a dog's nails should be done carefully to avoid cutting the quick, which can cause pain and bleeding.
As a trained professional with years of experience, I provide nail trimming services as well as optional grinding/sanding to ensure safe and pain-free trimming for your dog.
6.) Bathing Frequency Varies: Not all dogs require frequent baths. Over-bathing can strip natural oils from their skin, leading to dryness and irritation.
I can help advise you on the appropriate bathing schedule and provide high-quality, gentle shampoos suitable for your dog's skin type.
7.) Eye Care is Necessary: Some breeds are prone to tear stains. Regularly wiping the area around the eyes can prevent staining.
We recommend gentle eye cleaning solutions and techniques to prevent tear stains and maintain your dog's eye health. We can trim the excess around the eyes and face to ensure a more sanitary cut in order to prevent issues.
8.) Specialty Shampoos Exist: Dogs with specific skin conditions may benefit from medicated or specialized shampoos prescribed by a vet.
We stock a range of specialized or hypoallergenic shampoos for dogs with specific skin conditions.
9.) Trimming Around Sensitive Areas: Grooming around sensitive areas like the eyes, ge****ls, and paw pads requires precision and care to prevent injury.
Our grooming professionals are skilled in precise trimming techniques around sensitive areas, ensuring safety and comfort for your dog.
10.) Professional Grooming Has Benefits: Even if you groom your dog at home, occasional professional grooming helps maintain coat health and identifies potential issues early on.
At Purdy Fur, we offer comprehensive grooming services, including regular check-ups to identify and address any potential grooming-related issues early on.
