Grooming Tips for At Home Care
Making Grooming a Positive Experience
To make it a positive experience, start grooming early to help your dog get used to the routine. Use treats and praise to reward good behavior, keeping sessions short and positive, especially if your dog is anxious. If your pup struggles with grooming, consider using calming sprays or toys to create a relaxed atmosphere.
Brushing & Coat Care
- Brush your dog at least a few times a week to remove loose fur and prevent tangles.
- Use the right type of brush for your dog’s coat (slicker brushes for long fur, bristle brushes for short coats).
- For shedding breeds, a de-shedding tool can help reduce hair buildup in your home.
- If your dog has mats, use a detangling spray before gently working them out with a comb.
Bathing & Shampooing
- Use a dog-specific shampoo—human products can irritate their skin.
- Bathe your dog every 4–6 weeks, or as needed depending on their activity level and coat type.
- Lather gently and rinse thoroughly to prevent residue buildup, which can cause itching.
- For sensitive skin, choose a hypoallergenic or oatmeal-based shampoo.
Nail Trimming
- Trim your dog’s nails every 2–4 weeks to prevent overgrowth and discomfort.
- Use a dog nail clipper or grinder to make the process easier.
- Be careful not to cut too close to the quick (the pink part of the nail) to avoid bleeding.
- If unsure, start with small trims or visit a groomer for assistance.
Ear & Eye Care
- Check your dog’s ears weekly for dirt, redness, or unusual odor.
- Use a dog-safe ear cleaner and a cotton ball to gently wipe the outer ear.
- Clean around the eyes using a soft damp cloth to remove tear stains or debris.
- If your dog has excessive tearing or irritation, consult a vet for advice.
