Pet Grooming: Its Importance & What to Expect at a Dog Spa?

 Pet Grooming: Its Importance & What to Expect at a Dog Spa?

Imagine a time when you could not shower or clean up or even get a trim, would you feel content or clean and comfortable? This question is not so hard to answer. After all, an unkempt body may feel okay for a day, but we just can’t do without grooming ourselves. 

 

Infact, most of us take it so seriously that we go to extensive lengths to pamper ourselves because it feels good not just in the body, but also in the mind and the spirit. Our furries are not so different from us. They need regular sessions at a pet spa or at home to remain healthy and feel happy. 

 

In scientific terms, every 15 days or so the pet’s skin develops a new layer of cells. Regular grooming, whether dog grooming or cat grooming, helps ward off the old cells to reveal a fresh and healthy coat. 

 

What To Expect at a Dog Spa? The Core Services

 

Bathing

Dog Bathing

The professional groomers select the bath products after closely analyzing the fur quality, breed and need. These products primarily consist of a shampoo and a conditioner. The shampoo is chosen according to the pH balance as well and the kind of issue (if any) that needs to be addressed. After carefully lathering up the shampoo and massaging it a few times, the groomer washes the shampoo off the fur.

 

Drying 

Blow drying dogs coat

Drying the undercoat and overcoat is essential so that any moisture on the coat does not cause fungal reactions. It is up to you whether you prefer your fur baby to dry off naturally or do you prefer the use of a good quality hair dryer. 

 

Nail Trimming

Dog Nail trimming

Manicures & pawdicures are essential components of a pet spa of which nail trimming is the core. The nails are trimmed with a clipper for pets. 

 

Ear Cleaning 

Dog ear cleaning

Our furries require regular ear cleaning with the help of professionals since their ears are prone to fungal infections, if not maintained. 

 

Brushing

Post-drying, the locks on the coat get tangled which needs detangling. For the same, a good quality brush is used by the grooming as part of the finishing touches to the furry’s grooming session and to smoothen out the locks. 

 

Sanitary Trimming

Sanitary Trimming

This is a basic form of trimming for maintaining the coat’s appearance. It also helps maintain fur hygiene for a longer period before they are due for a second bath. So, if you need the basic need met, then you can go ahead with sanitary trimming for your furry. 

 

Breed-Specific Haircut

Want to add to your furry’s style quotient? Go for a breed-specific haircut. This is a part of an extensive grooming experience during which you can opt for a haircut as per the breed of your furry.
