Teeth brushing:

Teeth brushing is one of the important stages of full process of dog grooming. A good groomer will touch all parts of your dog and brush it to find out if there is a hidden knot or problem. Important areas that should not be overlooked include the dog’s armpits, between the legs, behind the ears, between the dog’s thighs and tail. Depending on the dog’s breed, the length and fineness of its hair, you may need to brush it every day or once a week. Get enough information about your dog from your groomer.

Nail clipping:

Failure to trim the nail can cause complications, nail rotation, muscle pain and foot injury. Groomer teaches you to never cut your dog’s nails yourself at home or from the bottom. There is a blood vessel inside the dog’s nail. Improper or excessive nail trimming causes bleeding. Suitable nail clippers and scissors for dogs have protection to prevent extreme shortening. Note that dogs are usually afraid of nail clippers and should be gently adapted to the situation to feel comfortable.

Bathing:

Excessive bathing destroys the natural dog’s skin’s oil and causes dryness, coarse and annoying texture. You should brush before bathing; because when the knots get wet, they create a painful and horrible mat on the skin. Put a cotton ball in your dog’s ear while bathing to prevent infection. Use lukewarm water and shampoo suitable for dogs to wash. Apply the shampoo foam all over the dog’s body and then rinse. Continue cleaning from head to tail and at the end to the legs. You can do the same process with the conditioner for better results. Dog’s thorough washing is critical. Remaining shampoo and cleanser on the skin surface may irritate dogs. After washing, dry your dog with a towel and brush again to make sure the knots are untied. Using a human dryer or high temperature can cause burns and dry skin. In all these steps, you can get help from a skilled groomer to avoid possible dangers and injuries.

Ear and eye cleaning:

Ear and eye infections are a typical dog’s diseases that need to be cleaned monthly or weekly, depending on the breed. Dip a cotton swab into mineral oil, and then clean the dog’s outer ears slowly. Never insert anything in the dog’s ear to avoid unwanted deafness.

To clean the eyes, just gently wipe off the discharge around the eyes with a wet cotton ball after each bath. But Groomer can also use an eye solution that cleanses the eyes of foreign dirtiness and protects against shampoo. Finally, to ensure that shampoo doesn’t enter, rinse the eyes again with the solution. The eyes and ears are two sensitive and vital organs that you must wash with the help of an experienced groomer.
