Dog Grooming At Home - The Benefits
- Performing the grooming jobs on your own dog helps to build a very tight owner-dog relationship. Touching, brushing and bathing your dog will all contribute to strengthening the bond you share with your dog.
- Taking care of your dog's grooming needs is much cheaper and more convenient than the alternatives. Finding a good dog groomer who genuinely cares for the wellbeing of your dog is not an easy task. Plus they charge a hefty amount and often have a schedule that won't suit your needs. Grooming your own dog requires a one off cost upfront plus some initial learning but the result is that you will get the job done just the way you like, every time.
- Another benefit of grooming your own dog is that you will most likely discover any potential problems, before they get out of hand. Things like hotspots, fleas, lumps and bumps will be easily identified when grooming your dog.
Dog Clippers / Blades
Dog clippers are one of the most important tools in your grooming kit. When purchasing your dog clippers I believe you really get what you pay for. In my opinion it is worth a little extra money up-front in order to get a quality item. My favorite brands of dog clippers include Wahl, Oster and Andis.
Grooming Brushes / Combs
Most dog breeds require regular grooming in order to reduce shedding, control fleas and to keep the coat in peak condition. The main thing to consider when selecting your dog brushes and combs is the length of your dog's coat. Hound cloves are perfect for short-haired breads but totally useless when tackling a long, matted coat. Get the right tools for the job and you'll have a much easier time of it.
Dog Shampoo
Bathing your dog requires a suitable dog shampoo and conditioner to get the job done well. There's heaps of options including medicated shampoos, flea preparations, organic shampoos and everything in-between. Try a few until you find the shampoo that best suits your dog's needs individual needs.
Nail Clippers
The most important thing to keep in mind when purchasing your nail clippers and scissors is size. You must select the clippers that are suited to your dog's nail size - otherwise clipping your dog's nails can become a lot harder than it should be.

Shed Control
A dog that sheds can be a pest around the house but there are plenty measures you can take to reduce the shedding. For a list of non or low shedding dog breeds please visit - dog's that don't shed.
Flea Control
I use Frontline to combat fleas on my own dogs and have found it to be highly effective. For a more comprehensive look at the range of Frontline flea treatments please visit - Frontline flea control.
Dental Care
Dental care is often overlooked by dog owners, but it shouldn't be. Gum disease is a very serious condition that can lead to many other health problems. Start your puppy off early on some good chew toys that help to keep the teeth and gums in top shape.
Eye Care
Ear Care
Your dog's ears are very sensitive and prone to infection and other issues. To learn how to protect your dog's ears please visit - treating dog ear infections.
Dog Grooming Tables
When you start to get serious with your home dog grooming efforts you will need to investigate getting a suitable dog grooming table. A good grooming table which has been properly set up and fitted out makes the home grooming experience a much more productive one!
