Five reasons for having your dog groomed on a regular basis!

1. A clean dog has healthier skin. Regular grooming allows you and your groomer to check your dog easily for skin problems, as well as eliminate fleas and other parasites.



2. Trimming nails helps your dog get around easier. Not many people know that if your dog continually walks on long nails instead of the pads of his feet, his joints can be hurt, making it difficult for him to walk!



3. Grooming lessens shedding. Less shedding keeps the house cleaner and reduces allergens, especially during seasonal shifts in weather. And since dirt and mess are left at the groomer.s, not your home, you can concentrate on entertaining company instead of last-minute vacuuming!



4. Checking your dog's teeth improves your smile. Dirty teeth results in more than bad breath: it can promote painful gum disease which makes it difficult for your dog to eat. If unnoticed and left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and serious systemic health problems.



5. Grooming perks up your dog's ears. Cleaning ears prevent serious infection from yeast, mites or other organisms, and gives your dog no excuse for not listening to you!
