Did you know?
Grooming facts every dog owner should know
A few things we share with clients every day. Ask your groomer what fits your dog best.
Paws do the sweating
Dogs sweat mainly through their paw pads. That's why you might spot little damp paw prints on a hot day.
One-of-a-kind noses
Every dog's nose print is unique, a bit like a human fingerprint.
Brushing brings the shine
Regular brushing spreads your dog's natural skin oils through the coat, which keeps it soft and glossy.
Clicking nails mean it's time
If you can hear nails tapping on the floor, they're probably due for a trim. Long nails can change how a dog stands and walks.
Double coats are built-in jackets
Breeds like huskies and golden retrievers have a double coat that helps with both cold and heat, so a good brush-out usually beats a full shave.
Floppy ears need extra care
Floppy ears trap warmth and moisture, so breeds like spaniels benefit from regular ear checks and gentle cleaning.
