Hello, dear animal lovers. 👋🏻 In one of the previous posts, we already talked about how to care for the coat of dogs, depending on their coat type. Good hygiene habits are essential for a healthy dog. But what about tips for grooming your pet at home? Here they are!)

✔️ Brush all the way down to the skin, letting the massaging action stimulate blood circulation and loosen and remove flakes of dandruff. (to find out which comb is right for your dog, find our previous post)

✔️ Bathe your dog, but not as often as you bathe yourself. Washing too often removes natural oils and leaves the coat dry and rough. 🛁🦮

✔️ Do you hear the clatter of claws on the floor? It's time for your dog's nails to be trimmed! Your nail tools won't fit a dog. Use a specially designed clipper. Most of them have safety guards to keep you from clipping your nails too short.

✔️ Do it gradually. Do not do all the procedures at once one after another. Let your dog rest and understand that you will not harm him. 🐶💤

✔️ Use positive reinforcement! Sweet treats have not left anyone indifferent. Try to appease the dog with them, then the procedures will be much easier.

✔️ Clean your ears once a month. Clean only the outer part of the ear, do not need anything to stick there. Some dogs need to be plucked directly inside the ear to keep air circulating. Ask your veterinarian if this is necessary for your dog.

✔️ Do not forget to clean the eyes with a damp cotton swab as needed.

✔️ Brush your dog's teeth and don't forget the chew toys to help clean your dog's teeth.

✔️ Check your dog's pads regularly. This is done not only for cleanliness, but also to ensure that the pads of their paws are not dry, cracked or injured in any way. 🐾
