As a dog parent, I opted to groom my dog at home because of the negligence and careless treatment of dogs in pet grooming chains. To begin the journey of home grooming, I invested in the most essential equipment. Once you have bought your equipment, here is a step by step guide of the process.
Good grooming will help your dog look and feel his best. Routine grooming sessions also allow you to examine your dog’s coat, teeth, eyes, ears, and nails for signs of problems.
Do not try to clip or shave your dog’s hair by yourself without proper training. Grooming professionals have the tools and knowledge to safely groom sensitive areas.
Wash the dog. Give your dog a bath and let him dry thoroughly before you clip him.
It is a chance for dogs to spend some time with others dogs and builds up a dog’s trust as grooming becomes a positive experience and dog groomers can ease them through situations that may be uncomfortable for them.
Poodles and doodle mixes are not the only dogs that need regular grooming – all dogs do!
