Planning For a Pup? Here’s A Heads-Up on Dog Grooming

If you’re looking at this page, it’s probably because you truly care about your future canine companion’s grooming needs — which is a very good thing. Basic grooming is a responsibility you must commit to for the well-being of your new pup. It offers benefits that help to ensure that both you and your fur baby are happier and healthier.

The first thought you probably have about dog grooming is how often it should be done. The following post takes a closer look at this question:

How Often Should I Groom My Dog?

Part of your dog’s grooming regimen is nail trimming. Many dog owners prefer to leave this task to a professional groomer, while some opt for the DIY approach. Others simply want to be able to trim their dog’s nails in a pinch or understand the process better. If you want to know more about nail trimming for any reason, the following post has details:

How to Cut Dog Nails and Why It’s Important

Trimming your dog’s nails offers as much benefit to you as it does to your dog. Neglected nails can lead to discomfort or infection, not to mention the damage they can do to your floors and furniture. If your dog’s nails appear long or brittle, or if you hear a constant clicking sound when they walk, those are clear signs that it is time for a trim. It’s best to start this routine when your dog is young so they get used to clippers, and then it should be performed at least once a month thereafter. Read more at Petco…

One of the keys to making your dog comfortable with nail trimming (and trimming the hair between the pads of their feet, as well) is starting the process early in life.
