What You Should Know About Dog Grooming

Professional dog grooming is crucial for your dog's appearance and health. Our vets at La Pine explain why regular grooming appointments are essential and offer at-home grooming tips.

Professional Dog Grooming

As a pet owner, you can rely on us to keep your furry friend looking and feeling their best throughout the year. Our professional grooming services are designed to keep your dog's fur well-trimmed, healthy, and comfortable. In addition to improving their appearance and scent, regular grooming sessions provide numerous health benefits for your dog. 

Including grooming in your dog's healthcare routine can result in healthier eyes and skin and early detection of potential health issues. Beyond the obvious benefits of looking and smelling great, grooming can improve your dog's overall well-being. So, bring your beloved pet to our professional pet groomers at La Pine for regular grooming sessions and ensure that they live a happy and healthy life. 

Feet, Paw Pads, & Nail Cleaning

Some dog breeds tend to develop thick hair in the spaces between their toes and paw pads. This can be quite uncomfortable for your furry friend, so keeping these areas clean and well-groomed is important. A professional groomer can help by trimming or shaving the excess hair, which improves your dog's comfort and prevents the accumulation of dirt and bacteria.

Healthier Skin & Coat 

Regularly brushing your dog's coat is essential to keep it shiny and healthy. Not only does it distribute natural oils throughout the coat, but it also promotes healthier skin by removing dirt and debris. Brushing also helps prevent mats, which can cause discomfort and pain for your pet. Additionally, brushing ensures that topical tick and flea preventative medicine is evenly distributed, providing full coverage against these parasites. So, make sure to take the time to brush your furry friend regularly for their overall health and happiness.

Detection of Abnormalities 

When we groom your furry friend, we check for any bald patches, lumps, bumps, growths, or cuts that may have appeared on their coat or skin. During this inspection, we pay extra attention to their ears, eyes, mouth, teeth, and paws. This is an important part of the grooming process as it helps us detect any issues early on, so they can be treated promptly.

Caring for Dogs With Special Circumstances & Needs

Many puppies face behavior problems, and senior pets require special physical care as they get older. Some dogs can be aggressive or fearful and need special grooming techniques to style their fur safely. Luckily, our pet groomer has extensive experience handling dogs with various needs, so you can trust them to keep your furry friend secure during their grooming appointment.

Dog Ear Care

Certain dog breeds tend to have hair growth deep inside their ear canal, which requires special attention. To prevent infections or irritation caused by trapped bacteria in the ear, it's important to clean your pet's ears monthly. If you notice any redness or discharge, we can inform you, and you can decide whether to seek veterinary care to determine if the area is infected.

Proper Treatment of Skin Conditions

Our grooming salon understands that dogs may have various skin conditions, including sensitivities, irritations, allergies, and parasites like fleas and ticks. That's why we offer a range of special shampoos to address these concerns.

In fact, our expert groomers even have a shampoo that can help get rid of the unpleasant odor caused by skunk spray. We believe that proper skin care is essential for dogs, and we strive to provide the best possible grooming services to keep your furry friend healthy and happy. We understand that many pet parents may not be aware of their dog's specific skin needs, and that's why we're here to help. 

Appropriate Tools for Proper Grooming 

Our pet groomer is equipped with various tools designed to make grooming easier and safer for your pets. These include adjustable grooming tables that are specially made for pets, as well as clippers that can take care of those pesky nails and hair. By using these tools, our groomer can give you peace of mind knowing that your pets are in good hands. You can also save time and avoid the frustration of doing the job yourself.

Stress-Free Baths 

Keeping your furry friend clean is essential, and regular monthly baths are part of a dog's grooming routine to maintain their coat's cleanliness. Our special tub is designed to make this task easy and comfortable for your pup. We have a variety of tools in different sizes for different breeds and specific needs, ensuring a faster and more efficient grooming experience than you could achieve at home. This means less stress for your furry friend and less time and frustration for you. Professional grooming sessions offer many benefits, including a clean and healthy coat, reduced stress for your pet, and saved time and frustration for you. We're always happy to answer any specific questions or address your unique needs.
