🌞🐾 It’s summer!! 🌞🐾
Keep your furry friends cool and comfy with these tips:
1. Regular Brushing: Shedding is natural, especially in summer(and especially in Texas). Regular brushing helps remove loose fur and keeps your dog’s coat shiny and tangle-free.
2. Stay Cool with a Trim: Depending on your dog’s breed, a summer trim can help them stay cool. Just be cautious not to cut too short, as their coat also protects against sunburn.
3. Hydration is Key: Ensure your pup stays hydrated. A well-hydrated dog has healthier skin and fur!
4. Check for Ticks and Fleas: Summer is peak season for these pests. Regularly check your dog’s coat and use preventative treatments.
5. Professional Grooming: Regular professional grooming keeps your dog’s coat in top shape.

Fact: Handstripping maintains the coat’s texture and health, perfect for wire and double-coated breeds.
Remember, a well-groomed dog is a happy dog!
