“Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate. What’s one thing that we have in our lives that we can depend on? A dog or a cat loving us unconditionally, every day, very faithfully.” – Jon Katz
While we have all come to enjoy the company of our pets, there is a certain responsibility that comes along with it - one of them being maintaining good hygiene. Regular grooming plays an important role in the well being of our fur babies. While professional grooming is recommended for most breeds, there are certain things we can do at home to keep them well groomed.
Brushing your pets regularly can be an excellent way to spend time and bond with your pets. Here are some tips you can use while grooming them:
Understand your pet’s coat type and use the right tools for brushing.
Learn the correct brushing techniques which will allow your pets to enjoy their brushing time.
Make it a routine but keep each session short.
Make it a positive experience by giving them treats at the end of it.
You may take your pets to a professional for grooming, but it is important to maintain their coats in between these grooming sessions. Here is why you need to do it and how it helps both you and your pets:
Keeps them smelling good for longer.
Reduces shedding which means lesser fur to clean up in your homes
Avoids matting in pets with long haired coats so they don’t go through the painful process of de-matting.
Helps you keep a check on their skin and coat condition.
