Importance of Regular Dog Grooming
Explore the Importance of Regularly Scheduled Dog Grooming Appointments
Bringing in a dog to your family is a great way to improve your life, as animals and pets are known to increase our overall happiness. These pets play a large role in our lives, however, they are a large responsibility and rely on us as their owners to keep them healthy and happy. Similarly to humans, dogs are pets that require a routine grooming regimen in order to make sure they stay clean and healthy. At America's Country Store and Pet Resort, we not only are proud to provide the products, food, and other supplies to take care of your pets at home, but we also have professionals to provide premier dog grooming throughout College Station, TX, and Bryan, TX.
Depending on the breed of your dog, different grooming practices are often recommended. For short-haired breeds, you may be able to provide light grooming periodically at home and schedule professional grooming less frequently compared to longer-haired breeds. Long-haired breeds are better taken care of by professional groomers with experience, as matting is more common. All breeds however require their nails to be trimmed back, and thorough bathing every couple of weeks, which are best to be performed by a groomer.
Some other benefits of bringing your pet to professional dog grooming services include:
- Flea Treatments & Prevention: While we hope that you and your pet never have to worry about fleas, unfortunately, it isn't uncommon to occur. Not only do fleas make your pet extremely uncomfortable, but they can also jump off into your residential property. By having regular dog grooming services, our staff can use products to better prevent fleas from attaching to your dog, and we can catch any lingering fleas early and remove them.
- Early Detection of Skin, Teeth, & Ear Infections: If you are not trained in pet grooming, signs of infection may be easily overlooked during at-home grooming and brushing. By scheduling regular dog grooming, our team will thoroughly check your pet for any signs of infection.
- Positive Behavior Practice: Bringing your pet for regular dog grooming is a great way to socialize your dog, and get them used to being in new and unfamiliar spaces from a young age. Our staff is extremely patient with all breeds and understands that the first few times your pet visits us it can be a little overwhelming. Over time we have noticed that each pet that visits us becomes more comfortable in their surroundings, which can translate to better behavior in other unfamiliar settings as well.
