Dog Grooming Hints

by Barboni

If there is anything that i could do with, it’s something that can catch our German Shepherds hair as it drops, because he seems to be moulting all year round, sometimes it seems excessive. We groom him two or three times every week and each time his brush is overflowing with fur, it seems to get everywhere.

Well, a top grooming expert tells us that the German Shepherd has a dense double coat and in good condition doesn’t create many problems to groom. If out of condition then this is a completely different story, you will find masses of dead undercoat hair everywhere. Feeding him a good all in one feed with special emphasis on skin and coat care is a great way to start,supplements can be added if you feel this is necessary.

If your dog is shedding excess undercoat,maybe it is because he doesn’t require this extra coat. It maybe that it is too warm where he sleeps? It maybe triggering false moult. make sure he gets plenty of fresh air through his coat every day, keep him as stress free as possible and try not to change his diet.

Imagine This For a Few Moments…

How nice would it be to know how to quickly and easily groom all or some of your dog yourself? Or at least to know how to keep your dog’s skin healthy, with a shiny coat free of matting and tangles? Imagine your dog with a silky soft shiny coat, clean bright eyes and clean ears, clipped nails and healthy skin with no allergies or hot spots.

There is no doubt that a well groomed dog is a happier dog because having dirty or matted hair pulls on the skin, causes skin irritation and is outright unhealthy! Consider the amount of time and money you will save. You then won’t need to worry when friends come over that your dog might embarrass you. And of course, no more doggy smell.

Whether you have just gotten your first dog or you have owned more than one dog, either way, keeping a dog occupied and happy can be a challenge and a joy. Most people do not think beyond the basics when getting a dog. Food, water, and shelter should be enough right? Not so, there are many conciderations when getting a dog, and keeping them happy.

The most important factor in keeping your dog occupied and happy is the dog’s breed. Each breed has certain characteristics that are inherant to that breed. They are happiest when they are able to freely do what comes natural to them. I have a miniture poodle, poodle are smart and require alot of mental stimulation to be happy. She loves to play fetch and have her toys to play with. She also is happiest in a routine. My mom’s jack russell terrier is a different story. Though she is small, she is happiest with lots of room to run and jump. Jack Russells also love to hunt. My mother’s Jack Russell would not be happy in a home with out constant excersice and play.

In my experience, most dogs love having a space to call their own. In my dogs case, she loves her kennal. It is not a place for punishment, and I never make her go into the kennal. She goes on her own, and in fact, during the day that is where you will find her. It’s her place to get away from my 3 year old or just nap. She has learned how to open and close her kennal at will. It is her haven. All dogs should have a place that is just theirs. Sometimes they just want that space to take a nap or be alone.

Good grooming is also a part of keeping a dog happy. Regular baths and brushing make them feel better. My dog loves her baths. Also, it gives you and your dog special one on one time.

Grooming also keeps them neat and clean, and helps minimize possibility of fleas, ticks, or a skin infection. With a poodle, like I have, regular grooming is a necessity.

Dogs love regular play, some more than others. Pick toys that are durable, and most of all toys that your pet likes. Stuffed animals that squeak are always a hit. The dogs can play with their toys alone or with you. Throwing a ball for you dog can be a great stress reliever for you both! Be sure to choose the right size toy for your dogs size to minimize risk of choking.

Routine exercise such as playing fetch or walking is also a great way to keep your dog happy, healthy, and in shape. Overweight dogs tend to develop many health problems,some of them painful, such as arthritis and hip problems. A dog in pain is not happy. So keeping your dog on a good diet and exercise plan is very important.

It may seem that caring for a dog, and keeping them happy is alot of work. It does require some time, and we all know the hours seem to be full enough. Having a healthy happy dog is a great way to relieve stress and take your mind off your day. Instead of coming home from work stressed and going right to the television set, head outside for a vigourous game of fetch. It is great exercise and lots of fun! Dogs want their owners to be hapy too!
