It’s Not Just About Looking Cute
Grooming does far more than make your dog smell nice for five minutes.
It’s preventative care.
Skin & Coat Health
Brushing:
Removes dead hair
Distributes natural oils
Reduces matting
Mats can hide infections or parasites.
Early Detection
Regular grooming helps you spot:
Lumps
Ticks
Skin infections
Ear issues
Early intervention is key.
Grooming Frequency
Short-haired dogs: weekly brushing
Long-haired breeds: several times weekly
Cats: varies (long-haired cats need more help)
Professional grooming may help certain breeds.
Final Thoughts
Grooming is health care in disguise.
If you notice unusual lumps, skin changes or discomfort, consult your vet.
