How to Groom Your Dog at Home

Grooming is essential for maintaining a dog’s hygiene, comfort, and appearance. Regular grooming also helps detect skin problems early.

At PetsDmart, many grooming products are available that make at-home grooming easier and safer for pet owners.

Brushing removes loose hair and prevents matting.

Short-haired dogs should be brushed 2–3 times per week, while long-haired dogs may require daily brushing.

Dogs should be bathed every 3–4 weeks using a gentle dog shampoo.

Avoid using human shampoo as it can harm their skin.

Overgrown nails can cause pain and walking difficulties.

Trim your dog’s nails carefully or visit a veterinarian.

Dogs with floppy ears are prone to ear infections.

Clean ears regularly using veterinarian-approved ear cleaners.

Brushing your dog’s teeth helps prevent bad breath and gum disease.

Veterinary specialists at Real Care Animal Clinical Complex (RACC) recommend regular grooming combined with routine veterinary checkups.

For professional grooming advice, pet owners can consult Dr. Makarand Dixit at RACC Hospital in Hingna, Nagpur.
