We all like our dogs to look good, and dogs always look their best right after a clean cut from a skilled dog groomer. But did you know that not only are regular grooming’s good for your dog’s looks, but they are also good for a dog’s health? Many dogs, especially those with longer fur, need regular grooming sessions to keep their fur clean and healthy. But there are many other health benefits to dog grooming beyond just a clean coat.
It’s no secret; dog nails need to be trimmed regularly for the comfort of our canine companions. But not only will regular nail trims make your dog feel better, it can improve their health, too. Dogs who go too long without getting a nail trim may start to walk abnormally on their paws. Beyond being uncomfortable, this can sometime lead to long term health complications if left untreated, including bone malformations and arthritis in extreme cases.
Regular grooming’s can also detect some of the unwanted guests that our dogs can unconsciously pick up from time to time. A good grooming from a professional groomer is a great way to expose parasites and fleas that can lurk underneath a dog’s coat until they are exposed. Getting rid of these nuisances well help your dog both look and feel the best they can be.
Lastly, not only is a well-groomed dog healthier, they can make the lives of humans around them healthier too. Grooming your dog regularly will remove excess hair and skin from your dog’s body, which can greatly reduce the effects of dog allergies. This does not work for all breeds of course; some simply shed too much, even when properly groomed, but proper grooming can be a huge relief for those that suffer from the condition.
There are many benefits to dog grooming beyond those listed here, and indeed, regular grooming is essential for some breeds to live happy, healthy lives. But even for lower maintenance breeds, a trim from a professional may not only brighten the sheen on your dog’s coat but will also keep him happy and healthy for many years to come and don’t worry, HotSpawts has you covered.
