Our pets trust us for so much. Shelter. Food. Squeaky toys. But get out a toothbrush or nail clippers and suddenly we\u2019re the bad guys. Don\u2019t feel bad. Grooming at home isn\u2019t always easy, but it\u2019s an important part of pet wellness. The good news is that it really is a great way to bond, if you do it slowly and carefully.<\/p>\n

As young as possible. If you rescued your pet as an adult, start weeks in advance of their first groom appointment so they\u2019ll be ready.<\/p>\n\n
BRUSH YOUR DOG OR CAT<\/h5>\n
Every couple of days, no matter what kind of coat they have. For long-haired pets, brushing prevents painful mats from forming in their fur and causing problems like poor circulation and hot spots. For short-haired pets, brushing removes loose hair so they can better regulate their temperature plus it reduces itchiness.<\/p>\n\n
TRIM YOUR DOG\u2019S NAILS<\/h5>\n
Every two weeks. And don\u2019t worry about forgetting \u2014 once you hear them clicking on the floor, it\u2019s time for a trim.<\/p>\n\n
BRUSH YOUR PET\u2019S TEETH<\/h5>\n
Two to three times per week. Don\u2019t beat yourself up if the sessions are short, this is a tricky one. Again, build up over time and remember, dental care is so important for overall health that every little bit helps.<\/p>\n\n
