Scheduling regular grooming appointments for your dog doesn’t just keep him or her looking their best, but it also keeps them healthy. Benefits of regular grooming include:
- Maintaining a healthy coat and skin.
- Regular nail trims help reinforce healthy foot structure and posture, and reduces the risk of infection.
- Your pet will look and smell great.
- Regular visits may result in early detection of issues with ears, skin, teeth and more.
- Shiny, healthy and properly brushed coats will shed less.
Let’s look more in-depth into benefits of regular grooming.
Shedding Control
Grooming can help your dog shed less. While all shedding cannot be completely avoided, daily brushing and weekly baths will help cut back on the need to vacuum the carpet.
A drop in shedding will be noticed when you regularly use a pet brush, since the brush stimulates oil producing glands in the animal’s skin that help keep it healthy and hanging onto hair.
Having your pet regularly groomed in addition to brushing on your own will yield the best results. A trained professional will know the proper way to groom your pet, specific to each breed and will be able to trim your pet’s hair best to shed less.
Early Detection
Some actions, such as checking an animal’s eyes, teeth and ears, which is done during grooming, can help you avoid major medical bills. Many cat and dog breeds are susceptible to illnesses that can be caught early, simply by paying attention to your pet and thoroughly checking the animal’s entire body.
Appearance
Animals tend to feel and look better when groomed. Avoid matted hair that is difficult to untangle, nails that are too long and curled and other issues by paying attention to your pet’s grooming needs.

Taking a little time for your animal regularly will pay off with many rewards in the long run.
