5 Grooming Tips to Keep Your Pup Happy

Grooming your dog isn't just about making them look good—it's about keeping them healthy and happy. Here are five essential tips...

1. Brush Regularly:

   Even short-coated breeds should be brushed at least once a day! Brushing your dog's coat removes dirt, prevents matting, and facilitates the spread of natural oils for a shiny and healthy coat.

2. Consistent Nail Trims:

   Long nails can be uncomfortable for your pup and cause posture issues. Trim their nails every 3-4 weeks or when you hear clicking on the floor.

3. Clean Ears:

   Check your dog's ears weekly for dirt, wax, or redness. Gently clean with a vet-approved ear cleaner and soft cotton pads.

4. Bath Time:

   Use a gentle, dog-friendly shampoo to keep their skin and coat healthy. Avoid overwashing (once every 4-6 weeks is often enough, but check in with a vet or us if you're unsure!). Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to avoid skin irritation.

5. Brush Teeth:

   Brushing your pup's teeth helps prevent bad breath and dental disease. Aim for at least once daily using dog-safe toothpaste or teeth wipes.

Keeping your dog well-groomed is an act of love—and they'll show their appreciation with plenty of happy tail wags.
