<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>We all know that grooming our dogs is great for their health<\/a>, wellbeing and overall good looks, but who really knows whether they\u2019re doing it properly?<\/p>\n
Regular Brushing Helps Prevent Matting<\/h3>\nWhether your dog is super smooth or long and tangly, they will always benefit from being regularly brushed and matting is something that is to be avoided whenever possible, as it can create discomfort and health issues.<\/p>\n
Different breeds require different amounts of grooming. For example, long haired breeds ideally need to be brushed every other day, while short haired breeds can be left a little longer.\u00a0 Our crazy Cavoodle gets brushed once a week and he seems fairly happy with that!<\/p>\n
Next time you\u2019re shopping for cute pet accessories, grab yourself a dog grooming kit from an affordable pet supply store<\/a> and you\u2019ll always be ready to groom when the mood takes you or when your pet is nice and relaxed.<\/p>\n
Help Your Dog To Enjoy Grooming<\/h3>\nDogs don\u2019t always enjoy being groomed so make sure that you start grooming with short sessions to help them get used to the experience and then build up from there.<\/p>\n
Combine the grooming with cuddles and positive feedback; praising the dog for good behaviour in a calm and friendly voice.<\/p>\n
Treats are good for keeping your dog occupied during grooming<\/a>, with a blob of natural peanut butter on a feeding mat being the perfect option as it takes them a while to finish it and most dogs find a treat mat additionally stimulating with all it\u2019s grooves and bumps.<\/p>\n
Knowing your dog\u2019s limit is also key – if they start to show signs of distress or want to get away, give them a break and return to the groom later in the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>
