Imagine your pet, which not only looks neat, but also feels comfortable. It’s great, isn’t it? This is what regular hygienic grooming provides. Today we will talk about what it is, its main components and what is its value.
What is hygienic grooming and why should we talk about it?
Hygienic grooming is comprehensive care of the animal’s body, which ensures a good appearance and prevents many health problems due to systematic procedures. That is, by regularly performing certain actions aimed at maintaining the beauty of your pet, you get a great opportunity to track all external changes in its health. This means that you will consciously and responsibly react to any deviations, turn to the veterinarian for help in time, and ensure a long and comfortable life for your little friend.
What procedures are included in hygienic grooming?
Hygienic grooming includes several important procedures that can be performed both at home and in professional salons. Let’s take a look at each one so you know what to expect and how it will affect your pet.
The first important procedure is to trim the claws with special scissors and dust the free edge with a grinder. Long claws can lead to paw injuries or even problems with walking. In addition, your pet may accidentally scratch the furniture or even you.
The next step will be to clean the ears of dirt and sulfur with the help of special products and cotton pads, because unclean ears can lead to infections or the appearance of ear mites. And we don’t want that, do we?
Do not overlook the eyes of your Tail. Clearing the dirt and tear ducts will help prevent infection and irritation, allowing him to see the world bright and clear.
Finally, we came to the main procedure of any grooming – combing. By setting aside 15-30 minutes several times a week for combing all areas and untangling small tangles, if they have managed to appear, you can prevent the occurrence of skin diseases and keep your home clean. Remember that regular combing causes less discomfort to the animal than untangling dense coats, which in most cases are easier to simply shave off.
Tails can’t brush their teeth by themselves, so this important mission is entrusted to you. Regular brushing with a special toothpaste for dogs and cats helps to avoid the accumulation of bacteria that lead to bad breath, tartar and even tooth loss.
Let’s not forget about bathing followed by drying the wool with a towel and hair dryer. Using a special shampoo and conditioner helps to clean the fur from dirt, get rid of unpleasant odors and parasites, as well as moisturize the skin to avoid dryness.
And finally, when your pet is already clean and dry, you should take care of a hygienic haircut of the intimate area, tummy, eyes and paws. After this stage, the Tail will feel completely comfortable, and you will find it easier to take care of it after daily walks in the fresh air.
What is a hygienic haircut for dogs?
Hygienic dog haircut is a special stage of grooming that helps to maintain the daily cleanliness of your Tail without the need to completely cut its fur and helps prevent skin diseases. This trim focuses on trimming the fur in areas where it can get in the way, get dirty or cause discomfort, and should usually be done once every 2-3 weeks.
What is included in a hygienic dog haircut?
- Hair in the anus, genitals, and groin area is easily soiled during trips to the toilet. A haircut in this area helps to avoid the accumulation of dirt and feces, which can lead to irritation and unpleasant odor. At the same time, it is important to cut the coat short enough to maintain cleanliness, but not too short, so as not to provoke itching.
- The fur on the belly can become long, preventing the dog from moving. A haircut will help to avoid entanglement of fur in the coat, making pet care easier. This zone is especially relevant when a hygienic haircut of cats is necessary, because it is also possible to trace the occurrence of any irritations and damage by parasites.
- The area around the eyes must be cut with scissors, because your Tail also wants to fully see the world and not suffer from the constant contact of fur on the mucous membranes.
- Paws and their pads require special attention. Moisture, dirt or small stones, sand, earth can accumulate there, which causes discomfort when walking. Therefore, shaving the pads of the paws should be done carefully and slowly to be sure of an ideal result.
If you are afraid to cut your pet yourself or you lack the skills and abilities in this delicate matter, we will be glad to see you at V.O.G DOG SALON. It is enough for you to choose a comfortable day and a salon for your visit, and we will take care of everything else.
