4 Reasons to Take Your Dog to the Groomer

October 10, 2023

Pet care involves more than just feeding your dog and visiting the vet once in a while. Pet grooming is also important. According to the Insurance Information Institute, it’s estimated that 67% of United States households, or about 85 million families, own a pet. Not all of these pets are properly cared for though. If you care about your dog and consider them a part of the family, then grooming should matter. Let’s look at a few good reasons to take your pet to professional dog groomers.

1. Improve Health

One of the most important reasons to take your pup to the groomer is for health reasons. Just like for humans, staying clean and tidy is essential to an animal's health as well. Without grooming, your dog's nails may become so long that it's painful to walk. Grooming also includes ear cleaning, which can prevent infections. Your groomer may even detect possible health problems like rashes and bumps.

2. Reduce Parasites

Dog groomers can also help reduce the instances of parasite infections or infestations as well. During regular grooming, your animal will be fully checked for any parasites. Parasites can be removed. This is crucial because most parasite infections develop because the owner simply didn’t know the animal was dealing with it because regular grooming and checking were not being done.

3. Prevent Excessive Shedding

Is your house covered in fur? Regular grooming can help. This is especially true for big, fluffy breeds like huskies and malamutes. Not only will your dog's coat be healthier and shinier, but you also won't need to vacuum as much.

4. Keep Dogs Comfortable

When a dog is not groomed properly, it can become very uncomfortable. A lack of grooming can lead to mats in the fur, dry itchy skin, uncomfortably long nails, and other issues. Some people try to justify ignoring grooming needs by saying that animals in the wild aren't groomed, so it doesn't matter. It's important to understand that wild animals and domesticated animals have very different daily habits. Additionally, domesticated dogs have much different fur which requires regular cleaning and trimming. When you keep your dog properly groomed, the animal will be more comfortable and happy.

These are just a few of the benefits of regular grooming. You and your pup will be much happier after a visit to the groomer. If you are in need of dog groomers, please contact Dog City Hotel & Spa today. We are here for your pet's needs.
