Professional dog grooming is big business and can be quite expensive there are many services available for example; dog grooming parlours, mobile dog grooming, and others that will come to your home and perform this service

The question is why do we need to groom our dogs?

Expert opinion is to groom a dog is as important as grooming ourselves to a certain extent. The question is if you did not wash yourself for 7 days or more how would you smell, or the real issue is how would your friends or family react to you?

When a dog does not smell too good and he or she jumps up we have a tendency to turn away from them, and dogs are very sensitive towards this and can feel rejected.

Here are a couple of things to get you off the mark. The primary thing is to wash the dog in a shampoo, however be cautious with your choice of commercial shampoos they can be expensive and often cause skin irritation and dryness of the skin, making your own herbal shampoo is by far the best option if you know how.

You will need some dog’s towels a couple of face cloths plus a Loofah; this is to get rid of the dead skin, plus a bath mat where the material is made of a material similar to a towel.

Keeping Your Dog Well Groomed

Keeping your dog well groomed

An important part of being a dog owner is to keep your pet well groomed. But its not just about keeping your dog looking good. Grooming is necessary for your pets health and well being too. A well groomed dog is a beautiful looking, happy and, above all, healthy dog. Grooming is an essential part of the dogs routine to ensure the coat stays shiny and skin remains in tip top condition.

Daily brushing is required to remove dirt from your dogs coat and to spread the natural oils through the fur, preventing irritation of the skin and keeping it clean. A dogs nails need to be trimmed monthly, either with specially designed dog clippers or scissors. Check your dogs ears regularly, preferably twice a month. Doing this can prevent ear infections that can lead to hearing loss. Clean the canals and flaps, which should be a pale pink colour, using a cotton wool ball moistened with warm water. A dogs teeth need to be cleaned too. It is generally recommended to do this twice a week with a small, soft bristle tooth brush.

Dog grooming accessories

Pet suppliers sell a wide range of accessories to make grooming your dog easier and to help keep the dog healthy and clean. Dog shampoo is a great way to keep your dogs coat clean and shiny and to reduce odours. Special shampoos are also available that reduce hair shedding, soothe any skin conditions and prevent flaking. They are also designed to be kind to your dogs skin so they dont suffer any irritation. In long hair breeds, shampoo helps with detangling too, which makes brushing easier.

Fleas are a major problem for dogs and are easily picked up from other dogs or the environment. This common problem makes grooming even more important, as you can quickly spot the signs before a flea infestation causes skin irritation or allergic reactions. Rip flea spray and Frontline for dogs are easy to use and effective treatments to kill the fleas and stop them breeding.

Dog coats are a great practical accessory that can help keep your dogs coat clean as well as keeping them warm in the winter months. There are many different styles and designs, and some even feature high visibility materials for added safety at night.

The Simplest And Safest Dog Grooming Supplies For Your Irish Setter

The coat of the Irish Red and White Setter is beautiful with it’s long and luxurious fur. However, it does take some maintenance and regular care to keep their coat in excellent condition. Although the breed is an average shedder, the medium length white hair left around on the carpet and furniture often appears to be more than it actually is.

Like most dogs, they do have a heavy, twice a year, seasonal shed. Daily brushing for about a half hour will remove quite a bit of hair. Invest in a good quality dog brush and always brush in the direction of the fur. Your dog will love the attention and you will appreciate a cleaner house.

As the fur is long around the tail and stomach it is prone to collecting twigs and small burrs when they are outside. This is especially true if you take your Setter hunting. Work the burrs out with your fingers as soon as they come in the house, doing so will keep them from becoming embedded in the hair. Should you find that debris is tangled, use blunt tip dog grooming scissors to cut it out being careful not to nick the skin.

Typically, this breed does not require regular clipping of their fur. If you have your dog professionally groomed make sure to tell them only trim around the paws and ears. Once you start clipping the rest of the body, it will change the texture of the fur from soft to coarse.

Since the Setter is bred to be a hunter, spending time outdoors trudging through the woods and lakes, their fur has developed natural oils for protection. Therefore, bathe your Setter as little as possible to retain the natural oils. When you do give your dog a bath, be sure to use only pet specific dog shampoo and conditioner. Human products contain different ingredients that will cause skin irritation on your dogs’ skin. There is some dog shampoos sensitive enough to use more often if would like to bathe your Setter every couple of months.

Once the bath is over it’s time for a full dog grooming session, that is brushing, towel drying, brushing their teeth, and the dreaded nail trimming. If you are like most dog owners this can be a lesson in taxing your patience especially for puppies that just want play and wiggle around or older dogs that prefer to just lie down.

The easiest way around this is to invest in a dog grooming table. Although this may sound extravagant for the home groomer, their ease of use and the quality results from your grooming session more than make up for it. There are new hydraulic dog grooming tables on the market that are easy on the budget, simple and convenient to use, and offer a safe and frustration free grooming session.

These new dog grooming tables work just like the salon chair from your local hair stylist with a foot pedal to raise the table to your perfect height. They can hold up to 150 pounds, have a skid free tabletop, and rounded corners. They also come with an adjustable grooming arm and grooming loop to hold your dog in place and standing upright. Imagine being able to use dog nail clippers and brush his/her teeth without them running away or wiggling around.

Grooming Your Irish Setter should be fun for you and give your dog that “Oh…Ya, that feels great!” moment. Using quality dog grooming supplies will keep the process aggravation free for you and safe for your dog. Dog grooming tables work wonderfully and because of their adjustability will accommodate all your dogs. There is a reason professional dog groomers use a table, the results are amazing. You too can now have the same results without breaking the bank.

Dog Grooming Tips – How Often You Should Bathe a Dog

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.
