Health Benefits

According to vetstreet.com, pet grooming isn't just about expensive prissy grooming. It has become a necessity to provide better care for our pets. Not only does grooming make your pet looking sharp, but it helps to spot health problems such as lumps, discolorations, injuries, tick or fleas, or mats. With detecting any serious problems right away, they can be treated by a vet before it gets worse. In some cases, you can detect cancer soon enough to save your pets life. 

It's All in the Breed

Some breeds like Chows, Collies, and Keeshonden are "double coated" meaning they have a downy undercoat underneath a harsher layer of long hair. Matting or tangling can become a problem if regular grooming isn't handled properly. Brushing can be done at home and helps to keep the long fur from building up on furniture and can help keep your pet cooler in the summer and allows new insulation come in for the winter. Silky haired dogs such as Afghan Hounds, Cockers, and Maltese need constant care to keep the matting tamed, it's best that a groomer trims this breeds fur to a medium length. Poodles and Terriers have curly or wiry coats and need to be clipped every six weeks and wiry ones typically need to be trimmed two or three times a year.
