If you don’t like having other people to groom your dog, it’s a job that you can do yourself. Grooming your own dog will help to keep your dog healthy, but it’s also good for their coat, and will help to keep your home clean. It’s also a great way for dog owners to bond with their dog, and the dog feels like he’s getting love and attention. Grooming your own dog isn’t a hard job, and you might find that you actually enjoy it.
Skin and Coat Care
There are some signs to look for when trying to determine if your dog has healthy skin and fur. Signs of unhealthy fur inlcude dry brittle hair, irregular thinning, dryness, greasy or scaly. The fur may also not shine and it’s appearance unattractive.
One good way to judge the health of your dog’s skin is by smelling it. There should be no smell if your dog’s skin and fur is healthy. If the hair is dirty, it will smell of whatever might be in it, like dust, for example. Unhealthy skin and fur will have a oily odor. The reason for this is skin bacteria that break down the natural oils of the skin will cause this odor. While this skin bacteria is normal, if there’s too much bacteria or the wrong kind of bacteria will cause the skin to be unhealty. There are some shampoos available that can prevent the wong type of bacteria. Your vet can recommend the right shampoo for your dog.
Grooming Your Own Dog – Ear Care
While grooming your own dog, take extra care around their ears, since this is a sensitive area. Some soaps, allergies, bacteria, pollen, fleas and ticks can all cause ear problems. An infection or inflammation of parts of the ears called Otitis is the main source of ear problems. There are several different types of Otitis, and some will affect the outside portion of the ear, and others will attack the insides of the ears.
Since Otitis can cause the ears to feel hot to the touch due to inflamation, this is a good indicator that something is wrong. Other signs include a build-up of ear wax and ear odor. This is also very uncomfortable for your dog as well, so the dog might be a little touchy around the ears if there is a problem. If you suspect you dog has an ear problem, avoid grooming in this area and check with your vet immediately. The longer the infection goes on, the more serious it can become.
You should keep the hair around the ears trimmed, expecially if there is a buildup of crust or dangerous bacteria. Keeping this hair trimmed can prevent the hair from trapping the problem bacteria, and this also makes it more open for the application of medication.

dog grooming question by Julia A: How much does dog grooming cost?
I am considering getting a bichon frise. I understand that they need to be professionally groomed once a month and that they need small touch-up trimmings between then around the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. I want to know how much it costs to get a small dog groomed at Petsmart, and do they do a good job there?
Answer by Me P O my gosh! We have a bichon frise and they are amazing!! I don’t know how much it costs…I’m not the one who pays for it, but they are so worth it whatever it is! I’m sorry I don’t have the answer to your question, but I do know, you should get one! I wouldn’t go to Petsmart to get it groomed, I would go to a family owned business or something. Also make sure to brush them regularly, especially on their head, you may have to pay extra after a while. Good luck!

If you are anything like me, you love your dogs and want to keep them groomed as best as possible. Unfortunately, crating, packing up the car and then traveling to the nearest groomer can be stressful to both yourself and your dog, not to mention costly. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to provide your dog a top quality grooming experience in the comfort of your own home? I am going to share with you 3 easy steps that will allow you to begin dog grooming on your own.
Step 1: Learn to Brush. Brushing is the foundation of proper pet grooming, not only does brushing help your dog’s skin and coat health, it will also create a strong bond between you and your dog. Breed standards and coat will determine how often you should be brushing but a basic guideline is to brush daily for silky or long coated dogs and to brush one to two times a week for a short or curly coated dog.
Step 2: Give your dog a bath. Luckily for us, dogs in general tend to be happy to get into water and this makes bathing a snap compared to other home pets. The rule of thumb is that a dog should be bathed every 2 months or so and definitely no more than once per month. The reason for such long periods between bathing is to protect your dog’s natural oils. These oils are what allow dogs to be such great swimmers and also what allows their fur to keep them warm. In the warmest months of the summer, longer haired dogs may require washing as often as every two weeks but if so, it is important to use high quality pet shampoo’s to protect their natural oils and keep their skin from becoming irritated.
Step 3: Dry out your dog’s coat. When drying a dog most people choose to use a towel however it is perfectly fine to use a blow dryer or even a combination of the two. While keeping a calm tone, remove excess water by commanding the dog to shake or by simply petting the dog in long strokes that push out the excess water from the coat. Once excess water is removed, use towels to hand dry the dog from the head to the back and then from the sides to the underside, chest, legs and tail.
In this article I have shared the three basic steps of successful dog grooming: brushing, washing and drying. As always, consult your dog’s breed standard before grooming to ensure the highest level of care. If you have a knack for dog grooming and are interested in starting your own dog grooming business, I recommend you check out John and Debbie Pelton’s excellent online grooming course. Not only will they teach you all that you need to know, they will also provide you with valuable job assistance and a beautiful certificate.
