Dog Grooming At Home Will Help To Save You Cash

By Christopher Campbell


Many people like to own pets like dogs. There are some dogs that grow long hair that needs trimming with time. The work can get a bit tedious which is the reason why it is important to get a professional to do the work. You do not have to get training on how to do it, but gaining experience with time will help you too. When you carry out dog grooming yourself, you get more attached to it since you will be able to spend more time with it.

First and foremost, you should have the right equipment for the job. Clippers are a must have and are available in different styles. They are available in the market at a low price. The longevity of the clippers is increased by sharpening. Scissors which are sharp will be useful for trimming hair around the ears and paws. It is important having a quality brush available when getting ready for the session.

During trimming, the trimmer is advised to have someone who can hold down the dog to ensure it does not move unnecessarily. If there is no one available to hold it, other equipment may also be used to hold the dog in position. The dog should also be placed on top of raised furniture example a table to avoid having backaches. While setting up also place a stable mat on the table.

There are those dogs that have fast growing hair. You should determine a regular schedule when you will be trimming it, one that you will stick to so that it will get used too. This will help prevent the shedding of the hair more so on carpets and seats as you are playing with it.

It is important bearing in mind that long coats will offer insulation against cold or heat. If the dog experiences too much heat, you can clip the belly to help it in cooling down while at the same time protecting it from the scorching sun.

The clippers should always be clean and lubricated. A clipper spray is used to achieve this. The clipper spray can also be used when the clippers become hot during a trimming session. The sharpness of the clippers are always to be noted. Blunt clippers often cut the pet during the trimming thus, they should frequently be sharpened. Seek professional help when sharpening the clippers. After the trimming, clean the clippers using clipper spray or blade oil.

The place where you are doing the task should be clean and without any disruptions so that the dog cannot move about. The hair should also fall in a place where it is easy to clean to avoid being carried away by the wind. You should clean the dog before shaving it to make the process very easy and effective.

The best way to interact perfectly with your pet is through grooming. You will enjoy the activity by applying the above tips. When you are clear with the basics, you should go on with your creative skills. Also, you can go for daring clips.
