Our dogs are all different and so are we. Most of us want to groom our dogs for some, or all, of the following reasons.
- We like them to look and feel clean
- We don’t want them to smell
- Grooming our dog gives us pleasure and relaxes us and them
- It helps get rid of parasites
- They look nice when they are well groomed
- They are a breed that needs to be groomed a certain way to look “right”
- If they have long hair clipping them off short keeps them cool {WARNING This is not always true}.
- Grooming them regularly makes them easier to wash and look after.
- It helps to keep their skin healthy
- It’s a way to show we care about them, and to bond with our dog
And there are extra pluses if you groom your dog yourself.
