There are many benefits to grooming your dog  apart from the fact that they will look and smell great!....

A Healthy coat  

Grooming aerates the coat, and ensures healthy growth of the hair shaft and airflow to the skin.

Some dogs require regular trimming and grooming as part of their care plan to prevent matting. When choosing a dog this is something you should consider.

Dogs with an undercoat if not brushed out regularly, can form heavy undercoat wads which drag the skin down, causing soreness and skin complaints In summer this can cause your dog to overheat.

Healthy Circulation  

Brushing promotes good blood circulation which  in turn creates a healthy coat.

Less grease   

Grooming helps to keep grease levels down . A build-up of grease in a dog’s coat can block pores and cause sebaceous cysts.

Reduced moulting

Most dogs live indoors and so moult quicker and more often than their wild counterparts, causing the loose hairs to become matted. The more you groom the less hair you will have around your home, and the less chance of skin complaints.

Better health

You run a reduced risk of eye, ear, skin, teeth and nail infections, ensuring your pet is free from pain and disease. Many health issues such as ticks, fleas and skin conditions can be caught before they become an emergency.

Lower vet bills  

As regular grooming  can reduces infections and disease.

Sociability

Your pet will be more comfortable being handled This is especially true around the face, feet and tail. Your dog will gain increased sociability as grooming becomes a positive experience for them. This makes things much easier should you need to get the dog examined at the vet etc.
