FAQ

It is essential to keep your dog groomed between professional grooming sessions as this will help your dog look and feel good. It will also give you the chance to assess your dogs skin and coat condition. How often you need to groom your dog depends on the type of coat and size of dog.

Brushing a long coated dog will help keep him matt free and if your dog is short coated, brushing can also help stimulate the blood flow which in turn helps your dog to feel more relaxed. Brushing also helps to remove loose coat and loose under coat. The type of brush you need, depends on the type of coat your dog has.

Ask me to choose what would be suitable for your dogs coat type.

If your dog is very badly matted, do not attempt to trim with scissors as it is so easy to cut into the skin and you may end up having to get the skin stitched up. Matts are dangerous to cut with scissors as they are very close to the skin and it is virtually impossible to see the skin through the matted coat. The only method to get the coat back to it's proper state, is a good clipping and it would have to be clipped short as thick blades on a clipper will not glide through the matted coat. Matts cause your dog to feel very stressed and uncomfortable as it pulls on the skin as your dog moves.

It is also good to brush your dog's teeth to keep gingivitis and built up of tartar under control and most of all keeping your dogs breath fresh! So be sure to buy your dog a bone, at least 3 times per week. Never give your dog a cooked bone, as they can splinter and get lodged in there mouth or throat and maybe even some where in there back passage.
