Grooming equipment for grooming

A dog can be a wonderful addition to any home, but whether you're an experienced pet parent or a first-time adopter, it's important to keep your canine companion's health and happiness a top priority. It is recommended to establish a habit of regular grooming early in your dog’s life. Grooming then becomes a pleasurable bonding activity and is established as a regular part of your dog’s routine.

• If your dog has a long coat and is prone to forming matts, make sure you are very gentle and patient and use a good de-matting brush. 
• If your dog has a continually growing coat, at some stage you will need to clip your dog. This is easily done with electric clippers, either at the groomer or at home. 
• Help keep your dog clean and reduce shedding with frequent brushing. 
• Check for fleas and ticks daily during warm weather. 
• Most dogs don't need to be bathed more than a few times a year. 
• Before bathing, comb or cut out all mats from the coat. Carefully rinse all soap out of the coat, or the dirt will stick to soap residue
