Not all pets need to be groomed by a professional, but all pets,
no matter the length of their coat, should be groomed at least once
a week. A weekly grooming should include checking your pet's nails
and trimming them as necessary as well as brushing and thoroughly
examining their coat and skin. The more frequently you brush your
pet, the less likely they will be to develop matts. A matt can be
difficult for you to remove and can cause a great deal of
discomfort to your pet.
Long haired pets like Persian cats, Shelties, Poodles and many
other breeds should be brushed at least two to three times per
week. These are the breeds that will also benefit from having their
hair trimmed on a regular basis. A visit to a groomer every four to
six weeks can aid greatly in this process.
Bathing your dog, every four to six weeks, with a shampoo made for
dogs, will keep Fido smelling nice and will help keep his skin and
coat healthy.
