Poor hygiene in dogs can result in health problems!
Pet hygiene advice from dog grooming in Alexandria!
Just like us, pets can experience skin conditions that may cause redness, itchiness, odor, and, in worst cases, even wounds. However, many skin conditions can be prevented with regular bathing and grooming.
Dogs require regular bathing and grooming to stay clean and healthy. Frequency depends on their breed, skin and coat health.
Dogs without skin issues benefit from a bath every few months or when dirty. However, dogs with skin problems require more frequent cleaning and sometimes benefit from medicated shampoos. If your dog has sensitive skin or skin issues, you should discuss bathing recommendations with your vet.
If you notice any skin abnormalities while bathing dog, you should have your pet examined by a vet.
Some noticeable changes might be increased odor and dander, itchiness, redness and wounds.
Animals with long coats are prone to matting.
This can irritate the skin and result in wounds. That’s why it’s important to groom your dog regularly and to keep their coat matt free. If you think your dog’s coat needs a good brush out, book your dog in for a groom in Puppy Playground grooming in Alexandria.
Another important part of proper pet hygiene is keeping your dog’s ears clean.
Though your dog might hate his routine bath, proper hygiene is necessary to keep your furry friend happy and healthy. If you have any concerns about your pet’s grooming and bathing routine, give us a call and we can help you out!
