Dogpatch

          Ensuring your dog is properly groomed and their coat is kept clean and free of matting is vital. Domesticated pets aren’t able to be kept clean as they would if they lived in a pack in the wild. Therefore it becomes your responsibility to do it for them.

           Dogs need to be groomed at regular intervals to keep them in tip-top condition.

If their coats aren’t regularly groomed, the matted hair can pull the skin, create hot spots for sores and hide skin infections and other irritations such as clinging plant pods or thorns. If unspotted or untreated, their skin can become itchy, painful and red sores can become infected by parasites like fleas or ticks which will affect health and wellbeing.

Combine this with the smell of tightly matted hair and unpleasant body odours and you’ve got one very unhappy pet. Your dog can become irritable and even resent being stroked or touched in certain areas.

          Grooming is not just a pampered luxury,

but a vital part of looking after your dog’s health. 

A properly groomed, clean and well trimmed dog will be cooler, smell better, be more huggable and bring happier times for both you and your

beloved pet.
