Giving your puppy a bath avoids odors and skin infections from developing. Bathing also gets rid of pet dander, oil, and bacteria. To prevent your pet’s skin and coat from drying out, use shampoos that are meant for dogs. Ideally, you should only air dry your puppy, if the room air temperature is room temperature. If you are going to use a blow dryer, ensure that the temperature is at its lowest setting.
Puppies like being brushed. The act of brushing removes any loose fur, helps in keeping the puppy’s hair coat clean, and also stimulates the oil glands of the animal’s skin. There are certain breeds that need more grooming over others. The best brushes for grooming your puppy are ones with metalized pins on one half and softer bristles on the remaining half.
Trimming your pet’s nails is also an essential part of grooming. This prevents the puppy’s nails from harming himself, your possessions, and you. Since puppies are very active, trimming your pet’s nails once every four or six weeks would be enough.
If you notice any signs of infection, parasites, and other skin and hair coat problems, it is a good idea to make an appointment with your professional animal hospital Burlington ON so your pet can undergo a thorough checkup.
