Dog [and cat] grooming
The following intel, at least the part within quotes, comes from Secrets of Dog Training - a blog on training your dog - link below... "Grooming your pets...
All dogs need some grooming. Show dogs need more than others. And to further state the obvious, a long-haired dog will need more grooming than a short-haired one! But even the short haired dog should accept being groomed as a regular part of his or her life. When you are grooming you can also check over your pet for any problems... like fleas, ticks, or lumps - even for excessive loss of coat [this could be a thyroid problem]. As a pack animal, a dog would be groomed daily by its friends within the pack, and would enjoy the experience. Teach your dog to enjoy the experience, give treats at first if they should find it hard to accept grooming. You can check their feet and ears too whilst grooming them. If your pet requires specialist trimming and grooming try to keep to the same person so that they can become confident about the experience." Cats, too, need grooming. It will help prevent fur balls. Although it is more important to groom a long haired cat on a regular basis, grooming a short haired one will help as for a dog and also to prevent fur balls - as mentioned above. The coat of a long haired cat can get into a terrible, and uncomfortable for your pet, mess if it isn't groomed on a regular basis. I know from experience that some cats can put up a remarkable amount of resistance to the very idea of being groomed! But please don't give up... for their sakes as well as for your own pocket... getting them sorted at the vets will prove expensive. Try little and often to start with, until they get more amenable to the process. |
