Grooming your dog is an important part of the care of your pet as it ensures that their coat is kept in a good condition, provides mental stimulation and promotes a feeling of well being, which is especially important in pets that are unwell. The grooming process should ideally be introduced at a young age as part of habituation and socialisation.

The main reasons to groom your dog are:

• Cleanliness – grooming keeps the animal clean by removing dirt and discharge. Regular grooming also reduces the amount of fur deposited on furniture and carpets.
• Health and inspection – grooming helps to keep the coat clean, stimulates new hair growth, and prevents matting helping to avoid skin irritation. It allows you to conduct regular health checks allowing early recognition of health disorders and permits you to check for fleas as flea faeces can be seen in the coat on close examination. Flea infestations can be treated and prevented by Frontline for dogs and should be applied every two months. Frontline products are available at Viovet, but be sure to buy the correct size suitable for your dog.
• Appearance – this is usually the main reason owners groom their dogs, especially for pedigree breeds.
• Relationship and human contact – this is an important reason for grooming as it strengthens your bond and builds on the trust between you.

There are many grooming tools that all claim to do different things, however FURminator offer a variety of products to aid you in successfully grooming your dog. Their De-shedding tools remove up to 90% of loose hairs to prevent your dog moulting on clothing, furniture and floors and are available for all sizes of dogs. They also offer a variety of combs, brushes and shampoos for different fur types. FURminator products are also available at VioVet.

As a guide; dogs with long fur should ideally be groomed daily, dogs with medium length fur should be groomed once a week and dogs with short fur should be groomed at least once a month.

Pets nowadays are often counted as members of the family and some individuals even go through great lengths and spend a fortune for dog grooming. Taking care of your pets require you to keep a steady supply of pet supplies because there is no point having a pet if you are not able to take care of them properly and give the love they deserve.

Keeping abreast with the latest trends in dog grooming could help you take care of your pet, but the question is do you even know what kind of pet supplies you need? Keeping a pet whether a dog, cat, rabbit, horse or any other animal is a rewarding experience but it comes with certain responsibilities that you cannot turn your back on.

There are many available facilities and pet supplies for dog grooming in the market these days. This could range from the basic needs to the luxurious things like pets exercise machines, treatments, pet food, hair combs, hair dryer, heated beds etc. Dog grooming involves tasks like bathing him, cutting his or her nails, cleaning her ears etc. and for this, you will need the right equipments from a pet store. Here are a few basic things to remember in dog grooming:

A regular, refreshing bath is one of the dog grooming basics. This task does not require more than spraying water on your pet, rubbing shampoo and rinsing it off. A bath is the first necessity and the rest can follow, like clipping nails, applying flea control, spending on pet grooming supplies, oiling your pet’s coat, or you can indulge in other luxuries like hydrotherapy, and water massage.

A pet will need a haircut. No one wants to cuddle a dirty pet and then the kind of diseases they are capable of spreading can be harmful for children as well as adults. Dirty pets will not present an attractive sight. However, not all pets need a haircut, though. With some pets, you can just brush the hair to keep it neat and nice, while some pets may require an occasional trimming. If you love your pet, give him the attention he deserves. If you have no time or are too lazy to do the job of dog grooming at home then you can always hire the services of a grooming company. Another option is to put your pet into a dog grooming school. These institutions have been established for the sole purpose of taking care of other people’s pets but their services are not available for free. You have to spend a certain amount of money for dog grooming and on pet supplies.

If you have all the time in the world and are able to do the grooming at home then all you need are some equipment like nail cutters, shampoo, flea sticks, conditioner, hair comb etc and you are all set for a session on dog grooming. Make sure when buying your grooming products to find a quality pet supplies store, either on the high street or on line, these stores will stock the best range and brands on the market for all your needs. The great thing about buying pet supplies on line is that you can take all the time in the world and choose the exact product you want, allowing a little more time for you and your companion.
