Grooming is a vital part of having a dog or a cat. It's more than just cosmetic reasons that you should take care of your pet in this way - neglect can also cause health issues.
Your pet's coat regulates body temperature, and is the most obvious target for grooming. Bad weather and mud can transform any long haired dog into an unruly mess. Matted fur as well as being unattractive is a breeding ground for nasties such as fleas, ticks and so on.
The winter can be especially difficult for long haired dogs, and also for those dogs who are very active out of doors. Dogs love water, puddles, mud and a whole host of other less savory things, so grooming has to be a weekly job (at least) to keep your pet looking great.
Luckily for both long haired and short haired dogs of all sizes, a range of fantastic grooming products has been developed to help you in the struggle to stay tangle free.
The FURminator is a patented product which has been specially devised to remove the lifeless undercoat hair that can cause matting problems. Thanks to the non cutting action, your dog will be relaxed as you gently remove the excess hair.
These days the best products are devised to make it easy for you to carry out tasks and the FURminator is no exception, with a specially designed handle. Imagine only ten per cent of the hair left all over the house that you currently have, that's what the FURminator can achieve with its finest performance.
If you are a fan of Kong products, the Kong Zoom Groom Brush for Dogs in Raspberry or Boysenberry will be a welcome relief to pet grooming problems. Through the special design the brush actually works like a magnet for stray hairs, with the soft fibres massaging the skin and coat.
Imagine your dog in rapture, and really enjoying the brushing thanks to the soft bristles, even offering his belly up to be stroked. If you move the brush in circles, you will achieve the best results.
Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers are a godsend for nail clipping issues. The grip is vital in toenail clippers as you don't want to slip and cut the quick. The non-slip handle and super-sharp blades make it easy to cut precisely. You may need to get your dog used to having a pedicure, but you will soon see how easy it is to do them yourself!
As a finishing touch, there are so many products to make your dog smell heavenly. 8in1 have an especially good range of shampoos, sprays and conditioners with scents such as Baby Powder and fruity combinations to give the finishing touch to your dog's beauty regime. Alcohol-free, and softened with Aloe Vera, your dog's coat will gleam with health.
If you are the proud owner of a white dog, eye wipes might be of interest too. This is especially true if you show your dog where the slightest neglect in grooming may mean losing a place. Your dog is a testimony to you as an owner, so make sure your are happy with how he looks!
