Dog Grooming 101: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide
Share
Keeping your dog clean and well-groomed isn’t just about appearances—it’s essential for their health and happiness! If you’re new to grooming, don’t worry. With a few simple steps, you’ll have your pup looking and feeling their best in no time.
1. Brushing (2-3 times per week)
Brushing removes loose fur, prevents tangles, and keeps your dog’s coat healthy. Short-haired dogs need a soft brush, while long-haired pups benefit from detangling combs.
2. Bathing (Once a month or as needed)
Use dog-friendly shampoo, rinse thoroughly, and dry your pup completely to avoid skin issues. Too many baths can dry out their skin, so don’t overdo it!
3. Nail Trimming (Every 3-4 weeks)
Long nails can cause pain and affect walking. Use dog nail clippers or a grinder, trimming a little at a time to avoid cutting too short.
4. Ear & Teeth Cleaning (Weekly checks)
Gently clean ears with a vet-approved solution and use dog-friendly toothpaste to keep those teeth healthy!
With these easy steps, grooming can become a fun, bonding experience.
