Grooming Essentials

Grooming your pet requires a basic knowledge of anatomy, familiarity with grooming tools, proper supplies and products along with sufficient space to work; and one thing more, lots and lots of patience. Pets need their nails trimmed and their ears cleaned on a regular basis. A routine of regularl pet care will help prevent serious problems from occuring in the future.

You pet's nails should be trimmed or grinded, whenever they grow over the edge of the foot; how fast the nail grows will determine how often this should be done.

The ears need to be cleaned as often as necessary to prevent wax and dirt from accumulating inside the ear.

A clean mouth is often a healthy mouth. Usually, a healthy mouth is associate with consistent periodontal health, along with gum health.

 Regular,grooming and bathing can help prevent problems such as excessive shedding, skin and paw disorders, painful mats and periodontal disease, as well as help you catch other problems that might otherwise go unnoticed..
