Caring for dogs or cats can be a big responsibility for first time pet owners. New pet owners need to know when their dogs or cats require professional pet grooming. This article applies to pet grooming only - standards for show animals are quite different. For professional pet grooming ask for references before taking your dog in. Ask if they have pictures of different breeds that they have done. Remember that while most professional groomers have been trained some groomers have had no professional training or got training on the internet. While this doesn't mean that they won't do a good job make sure that you feel comfortable that they can. Professional groomers won't mind telling you where they got their training and how long they have been grooming. Choosing the right groomer is important and after finding a good one don’t be afraid to tip her.
Dog Grooming Tips for Short Haired Dogs
Short haired dogs like Chihuahuas, Pugs and Dachshunds need to visit the groomer mostly for nail trimming, expressing their anal glands, baths and teeth brushing.
Nail trimming should be done every 6 to 8 weeks or your pet could develop foot problems with their tendons that need to be treated by a veterinarian. If your dog has an active lifestyle and they wear their nails down by themselves they don’t need this done as often. A quick guide is if you can hear the nails clicking when the dog walks they need to be done.
