benefits of grooming
Grooming for your dog does not only mean they look & smell great, it is also vital to their health & hygiene!
Here is some reasons why...
Hair under & between paws
Having the hair underneath and between your dogs paws trimmed can help them to sweat more efficiently & protect your dogs feet against grass seeds in the summer. It will also protect your dogs paws in the winter from freezing in the snow & help to keep your house clean from wet and muddy paw prints!
Nails
If nails are left to grow to their own accord and are not worn down either by walking on hard ground or clipped, they will overgrow and then in some cases they can curl, split or break. This can cause foot problems and possible injury as in certain breeds it will grow into the pads or if a dew claw the side of the leg.
Nails can be cut every week to reduce down but on average every 4 - 6 weeks.

Hair In Ears

Hair In Eyes
