The Importance of Regular Grooming
Like humans, dogs look and feel their best when they’re clean and well-groomed. But even more than that, there are a number of benefits for their health when you keep on top of regular grooming, however long or short their coat may be.
Regular nail trimming prevents:
- Nail injuries caused by snags on carpets and furniture
- A loss of traction on slippery surfaces
- Painful nail breaks due to excess pressure
- Accidental scratches on people and other pets
- Damage to hardwood floors in your home
- Damage to joints caused by improper walking posture
Regular hair grooming prevents:
- Build-up of excess dead skin, hair, and dandruff
- Matting of the fur
- Skin infections, irritations, and inflammation
- Dulling of your dog’s coat
- Missing potential health issues on the skin (sores, rashes, lesions, etc.)
- Excess hair growth over the eyes or in the ears
Come and See the Dog World Difference
When it comes to grooming touch-ups for your dog’s coat and nails, we know you have no shortage of options to choose from. Not only are there a handful of groomers in the Saanich area, but also many people opt to do interim grooming themselves at home.
With that said, some people aren’t comfortable trimming their dog’s nails or hair at home by themselves, either due to inexperience or because their pet has a more fidgety temperament. And since some grooming businesses don’t offer touch-ups between full appointments, you might be left wondering what your best option is.
At Dog World Beauty & Health Spa, we pride ourselves on our patient, gentle approach to grooming the animals we work with. Our team is not only extensively trained in the logistics of keeping dogs as safe and comfortable as possible at all times, but we also have another advantage—we’re true dog lovers! Some groomers see each dog as yet another appointment to fill the books, but we see them for what they really are: beautiful, intelligent creatures, each one with a personality of their own.
Whether you bring your dog in for a multi-hour hand stripping of their coat or a quick appointment to touch up their coat and tidy up their feet, we’ll never ever rush them. We’re happy to take as long as we need to look after your pup, because ultimately, we want them to be happy to come and see us.
