Why is Grooming Important?

Grooming is important not only because your dog gets smelly and their appearance can be disorderly, but it’s important to inspect your dog’s coat and skin for anything abnormal. It’s easy to miss a scrape, cut, or infection on dogs with a full coat. By inspecting their skin, coat, and ear condition, you can find and treat anything in need of medical attention in a timely and effective manner. Nothing is worse than discovering a cut after its infected and causing pain to your best friend. If your dog’s ears appear dirty it could be sign of ear mites, or painful ears could be an infection in need of immediate treatment.

Another important aspect of grooming is the bond that you form. Grooming time is relaxing and enjoyable, with your dog receiving your undivided attention. After treating your dog to a “Spa Experience”, you feel closer to them and can enjoy them better when they smell fresh, clean, and aren’t scratching. You’ll find the same quality Spa products at Designer Dog Avenue.com that you’ll find in the upper scale doggie spas.
