Do you want your dog or puppy to look beautiful and make people stare at you when you go out with your dog? You can do this without taking your pet to the salon. Plus, you don’t need to wait for your appointments. This may sound difficult to do at home, but we are sure that after reading this article you will feel confident to groom your dog at home. Now let’s start discussing 7 dog care tips one by one.

brushing hair

Whether your dog has long or short hair, brushing it at least once a day is very important. This cleans all the dirt particles from his skin and keeps his coat nourished. One thing to keep in mind before brushing your dog’s coat is to use the right brush if your dog has thick hair. The rubber brush won’t help. Similarly, you cannot use a straight brush for curly hair.

Brushing teeth

It’s becoming common to brush your dog’s teeth only when you take him to the salon. Just like humans, their teeth also need to be cleaned at least once a day as they have been using their mouths all day. In this sense, you should make sure to use a dog toothpaste designed specifically for dogs. For a comfortable experience, use a toothbrush designed for children.

Swimwear

In addition to looking good, your dog should also smell good. If that is not your case, then you are not bathing them regularly. Generally, people think that brushing the coat with a comb is enough to keep the dog clean, but ideally, you should do both. While bathing your pup with cotton balls, be sure to use a shampoo designed specifically for dogs rather than using your own.

Trim Nails

A dog’s nails tend to grow faster than yours. Dog nail growth can vary from breed to breed. We are sure that nobody likes to cut their nails but it is essential for the health of your puppy. The biggest nails of a dog can hurt anyone. Therefore, he dedicates time once a month to carry out this important activity. Best practice might be to trim your dog’s nails when he is sitting down for his own nail trim.

washing face

Some dogs have skin wrinkles that form folds in the skin where moisture can stay for a longer period. If this is neglected, it can cause infections and bacteria to your dog. Therefore, try to wash your dog’s face more often, especially on hot summer days.

Ear and eye cleaning

Get a dog ear cleaner now if you don’t have one. Ears need a deeper cleaning more often. As for the eyes, use a warm cloth to remove the goop around your dog’s eyes and if you see that his eyes turn red, we recommend that you take him to the vet.
