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.

Dog Grooming – Brushing and Bathing

Dog grooming is the basis for preventive health care for your dog and puppy. It gives you a chance to see small changes in and on your dog’s body that could lead to health concerns such as a lump or problems in his ears or with his teeth.

Dog grooming can be a time of further bonding with your dog. This is some serious one on one time when he gets loads of your attention.

So what do you do and when do you start grooming your dog and puppy? As with most things with your puppy, you need to introduce him to dog grooming slowly and help him be comfortable with it. Start with short sessions of about five minutes and work up to the whole routine as he adjusts.

Begin with brushing and combing. There are several different grooming tools used for brushing and which you use depends upon the breed of your dog and the type of coat he has. Ask the breeder you got your puppy from for the proper techniques.

Brushing should be done before you bathe your dog or puppy. Bathing your puppy should begin when he is about 14 weeks old or sooner if he is a very dirty dog. Most dogs should need bathing only once a month unless he gets dirty. Wherever you decide to bathe your dog, bathtub, sink or some type of tub, place a rubber mat within to give him something secure to stand on so he won’t slip around.

Soak down his body but not his face. Keep water out of his ears. You may wish to block his ear canals with cotton balls to prevent the water from getting into his ears. Lather up your wet dog with a dog shampoo. Rinse well. Any leftover shampoo in his coat is likely to cause dryness or skin irritation. Wipe his face off with a damp cloth. Squeeze off the excess water and then towel dry your dog. Complete the drying process with either a hair dryer set on warm, not hot, or by leaving him in a warm room until dry.

Be aware that a dog will shake just as soon as you release him. This is why some people want to run their dog outside quickly after a bath on a leash to prevent him from rolling and getting dirty again. If this is not an option, such as in winter, you may wish to consider a professional groomer.

A professional groomer may be a consideration for some of the more difficult haircuts and dog grooming considerations such as the stripping required by some wire-haired breeds. This depends upon your ability to do the required tasks and your desire to do them as well.
