No matter what breed of dog you own it’s important
to keep him groomed on a routine basis. For some dogs like the Labrador
retriever, a trim is not needed very often because the coat hair is short. Even
though the dog doesn’t need a trim he still needs to be groomed. By groomed we
mean brushed, bathed, brushed some more, nails clipped, teeth brushed, etc.
Grooming your dog doesn’t just make him look good but it also makes him feel
good and it benefits his overall health. Brushing the coat of a dog (whether
long or short-haired) keeps dirt and small insects at bay and reveals any
hiding fleas or ticks. Brushing your dog’s teeth keeps his teeth and gums fresh
and clean and reduces the chances of gingivitis. Keeping the nails trimmed keeps
your dog’s feet comfortable. Grooming is important whether you’re showing or
just staying home. Call your veterinarian
