There are many online resources for dog care available, but I would like to show you a few extracts from a book that has everything rolled into one on the way of dog grooming and explain how to´s, techniques, tips and an explanation of the benefits for you and you dog that can be obtained through correct dog care at home.

We all know that there is more to dog care than a brush through there coat – although this is an important part of dog care I would like to drawer your attention to other areas and activities that can result in the mentioned benefits and play a great part in dog care;

Eyes and Ears –

Once you have mastered grooming the coat you can move on to the next stage of grooming, caring for the eyes and ears – again this is not a difficult task, but requires a little more care than the coat. As with humans the eyes, and especially the ears are delicate organs in a dog and we have to be sure we can help our dog benefit, minimize the risks, and at the same time ensure we are not creating any danger for our pet.

Eye Care

The importance of eye care is something that many dog owners do not take into consideration as much as should be, the general eye infections suffered by dogs are caused by bacteria which has been allowed to seep into the eye, so regular cleaning is a must – also whilst cleaning will be the best opportunity to identify the most common eye problem for our pets, Conjunctivitis, this can be noticed by a redness around the eye and a greenish, or yellowish discharge…

Dental Hygiene – A part of dog care many owners omit!

Much of the dental hygiene crosses from grooming into health care, I have tried to separate the two but parts go hand in hand, however there will be another book in the series shortly that will cover health care and mouth issues in your pet deeper, for now we will try to keep with the grooming topic, and base this section around dental hygiene for a healthier, and better looking dog without too much consideration for the health issues – although these are a main factor in dental and mouth care…

And also the nails and paws are a main part of grooming when you look to dog care to show your pet you love them. Learn more about all these topics and much more with the help of ‘The Perfect Dog Grooming Guide’ which can be seen at www.Perfect-Dog-Grooming.com.

There is no dog that you can not groom, or that would not benefit from grooming including bathing, brushing the coat, cleaning the facial area and so on. All these have separate benefits, but they all have some benefits in common, and many owners don´t understand the health benefits that go with grooming.

For example, when you are grooming your dogs coat, whether it be a long haired dog, or short haired and weather you are using a nylon brush, or a soft short wire brush you will be able to monitor the skin area in a closer detail than ever before, so you can look out for ticks, fleas and irritations to your dogs skin in this way. Also with the eyes and the ears, you will be ensuring the health is maintained in these vulnerable areas and you will be playing a major role in prevention of infection. These are just two examples of the health benefits, and they are the same regardless of the breed, that you now know you can groom.

Having the knowledge that you can groom any dog and learning how to groom your dog will allow you to ensure your dog receives al the benefits of dog grooming, but the benefits don´t stop at your pet, the benefits that you can both receive together are also priceless. Spending the time with your dog and interacting with them will improve your relationship and bond beyond your belief when done correctly. I mention the grooming being done correctly in two ways, the manner in which you do it, and the routine you have for it.

Obviously if you are not carrying out the grooming tasks correctly you can cause hurt or suffering to you dog, and if you do not establish a routine you may find that you are trying to do too much n one time and making your pet feel uncomfortable, this will hinder he benefit of the relationship we have mentioned and also deter your dog from wanting to participate wit you any further.

Dog grooming is a great way to show any dog you love and care for them, and to make sure you benefit from it correctly the complete guide titled ‘The Perfect Dog Grooming Guide’ is available for you to see how much you can get from grooming at www.perfect-dog-grooming.com.

As well as this benefit you will also find that your relationship with your dog and the affection they show you will be somewhat increased. Also through grooming your dog you will come to know them better and have the opportunity to spot possible health issues that may have gone unnoticed previously.

So let us break these benefits down a little and go through them piece by piece; reverting to the health benefits we mentioned, firstly when we think grooming we immediately think of brushing our dog so let´s start there. When you brush your dog you remove all the dead hair from their coat, leaving only the healthy, this eliminates many of the bad odors emitted by your dog’s coat, as well as helps to keep them cooler, looks cleaner and reduces your dogs scratching and itching.

To make grooming your dogs coat easier and to help maintain the goodness reached through grooming it is advisable to bathe your dog and use a quality dog shampoo regularly – although you must pay attention to over bathing your dog, like humans you can easily strip the natural oils from the coat and reduce the healthiness that way. We mentioned dog shampoo, and that was deliberately mentioned, as human shampoo contains different ingredients and must not be used on our poets under any circumstances.

Another benefit of grooming or brushing the coat is the stimulation it causes to the blood flow which in turn increases and improves the blood supply to the hair follicles and aids the overall health of the dog’s coat. Also brushing has a similar effect as massage and can aid the stimulation of the lymphatic node which is another means of improving your dog’s health, and we shall cover this a little more in another chapter.

Grooming also consists of dental hygiene and care of the eyes and ears, this holds obvious benefits and some other not so obvious, clean ears and eyes reduce the risk of infection and through cleaning you will be able to monitor the condition of the eyes and ears, looking for inflammation or redness as you clean. The dental hygiene is as important in dogs as it is in humans, and if your dog is not chewing bones regularly then it is down to you, the owner to ensure this hygiene level is reached and maintained. Using a good dog tooth cream and a small, soft brush will help remove the dirt from the teeth and remove odors held in the mouth.
