Here are the body areas of your pet that should be given much attention when grooming: Hair There are pet salons that provide full grooming services. Dogs with long hair should be combed and brushed weekly. Short haired dogs should be rubbed and brushed frequently to keep their coats shiny and healthy. Brush and comb can also be used to prevent and remove tangles and matts. However, if these two cannot de-matt or untangles portions of the coat, you should use de-matting tool. This will effectively remove the matts as well as the tangles in every part of the dog- especially the portions of the ears, tail, and toes. It is not only necessary for enhancing the appearance of your dogs but it also promotes optimal health. Proper grooming of dogs involves many important considerations such as how to properly brush them, to wash them, clip them and clean their ears. These things should be done by the book so as to ensure that your dogs are always in good physical shape. You may also want to seek for veterinarian's help on cleaning your dog's teeth. Coat For different types of breed, frequency of brushing and trimming varies. For dogs with long, thick, coarse or straight coat, daily brushing and frequent trimming is required. Dogs with smooth coat require weekly brushing. Having a kit especially intended for dog grooming is vital if you want to maintain the health and cleanliness of your beloved pet. Unlike kits for humans, dog grooming kits for dogs are not something you can just pick up from any store. There are specific pet stores that offer these things. You also cannot just pick the first one you see.
