How To Keep Up With Your Pup Between Grooms

How To Keep Up With Your Pup Between Grooms

Every four to six is the ideal time after which a visit to the vet or a professional groomer is necessary. However, during this period, maintaining your dog’s grooming is a key part of providing care. 

If you struggle with consistency or you don’t want to forget, you can always create a schedule to keep on track. 

Once your schedule is up, here are three common grooming activities that you can carry out: 

Baths 

Lucky if your pet loves water. If they don’t, they would still need to take baths anyway. Baths can be pretty relaxing and they keep your dog from stinking up the entire place. 

Using a dog soap recommended by the vet is ideal because they are generally less harsh and friendly on dog skin. 

Remember to wash the paws, inside the ears, and generally wash all of the hard-to-reach places. 

Nail Trims 

If you don’t want nail marks all over your clothing or claw tracks on the rug, then take nail trims very seriously. 

One point to note however is that you should always leave some allowance, don’t cut all the way down. 

This way, you can avoid mistakenly causing injury to your beloved pet. Remember that you can give your pet treats for being a good boy/girl during the nail trim. 

Brushing Sessions 

Looking to avoid matted fur? This is the best go-to grooming option. Brushing sessions are especially important if your pet has a lot of fur and sheds significantly. 

You can arrest the shedding ahead of time, and keep their coat smooth and shiny. After brushing, you can spray them with delicious scenting dog sprays that you can get from Petland stores. 

You can Max smelling like a peach if you want. 

Conclusion 

Just like humans, constant grooming is what gets your pet smelling and looking like a million dollars!

Amazing staff. All very nice and answered all my questions. I loved all the dogs but I had to see the dog named Kevin! I went in with a completely negative view on petlands but the staff really changed my mind by going over all the breeder info, If I am ever in need of a puppy I will go there and you should too.

We came at a time they were very busy and never once did we feel rushed, or given attitude while asking questions. The two on staff were amazing and sweet!

I went in to get my dogs nails trimmed and was met with a smile and warm greeting from an employee, Dean. The trimming was quick and they really showed my scared dog good care. It was the most pleasant experience I’ve had when it comes to some of these pet places!

We just went for a walk”puppy therapy.” Look at how cute they are. I was a little surprised that considering how few customers were in at the time & yet we only got a “let us know if we can help you with anything” and that was it. There were plenty of employees in store, as it was probably the beginning of the Friday night shift, before families started coming in. I had made an appointment, just in case we decided to see any of the dogs. I guess I’m accustomed to the employees being more personal and wanting to tell me things based on the conversation my group is having without me having to reach out to them.
