Dog Grooming in Summer is vital! It’s not all about looking good, it’s also about keeping a close eye on the condition of our dogs’ skin, ears and nails, solving small problems before they become big ones.
Why You Should Groom Your Pet For The Summer
Grooming your dog in the summer months helps reduce heat and can make your dog more comfortable.
Dogs don’t sweat the way people do, so their body heat needs external help to get out. Grooming your dog regularly will allow excess heat to escape their bodies, helping give them a little relief.
Warmer days is also the time of year to be particularly vigilant about ticks and fleas.
Dog Grooming in Summer Tips
Regularly Brushing Your Dogs
Dogs use their coats as natural weather control and do not benefit from being completely shaved down.
All dogs benefit from a good brush, it helps to keep to prevent excess shedding and strangled their coat.
Increase Bathing
Consider increasing the baths during the summer months to ensure your dog’s coat stays as sleek and well-groomed as possible.
Additional baths will also help reduce parasites. Apply flea or tick repellent after the bath because many brands wash off in the bath tub.
Nail Trimmings
Overgrown nails can lead to pain and infections in your pet’s paw. With frequent nail trimming, you can make sure your dog’s nails are at a healthy length.
