Grooming is as important to pets as it is to us. Regular grooming not only makes your pet look neat and hygienic, but also keeps it healthy and disease-free. What more do you want!
Here is a list of grooming essentials to procure.
Your per needs regular bath to maintain its hygiene. You wouldn’t want rashes on your pet’s skin, and hence it is best to use a good quality pet shampoo when bathing its fur, and wipe dry soon after.
You may also use a pet brush to cleanse its fur.
A pair of scissors may be used to trim the dog’s hair around its face if required.
Use a safe pet-formulated skin cream if you spot the beginning of fungus or a flea infestation. Pet skin cream also acts as a moisturizer.
It is easy for your pet to fall sick with a poor oral hygiene. A pet brush is a great tool to help you maintain your pet’s teeth and gums, and avoid plaque and bad breath.
Do you regularly trim your pet’s nails? Not only is trimming important to keep your four-legged buddy walking comfortably, but also to avoid it from getting arthritis as a result of uncomfortable walk. The other benefit of trimming nails is to prevent your pet from causing any harm. Keep handy a pet nail clipper if you have not yet done.
It is also important to clean your pet’s ears regularly so as to prevent infection. The best way to clean is to use a veterinarian-approved ear-cleaning lotion, few drops of which you may pour into your dog’s ear canal. Alternatively, to make your dog more comfortable, you may use cotton balls dipped in the solution. Be cautious, as overcleaning the ears may also lead to an infection.
Happy grooming!
