Grooming is a vital part in the well-being and health of any dog. All breeds require regular grooming whether it be a full groom or just a bath and nails trimmed. Regular grooming keeps your dogs coat in tip top condition. Some dogs cast while others do not, but their hair may grow, therefore grooming by a professional varies from breed to breed and by dog to dog, some may need a bath and dry once a month, some may need a full groom every eight weeks and some may only one need done a couple of times a year.
The main reasons for daily grooming include:
decreased chance of various health problems, such as skin problems
general cleanliness of the dog
monitor health by checking for cuts, heat, swelling, lameness, or temperament changes, all of which could indicate illness
forging of a closer bond between dog and owner
reducing the chance of external parasites on skin.
