Speaking from experience, dog grooming is no easy feat, unless you know how to go about it. We have a Maltese-Shih Tzu cross who needs clipping every couple of months at least. His coat looks so much better and healthier after grooming, not to mention the improvement to his doggy smell!! Furthermore, like many fluffy breeds, he is prone to lick his paws constantly or, for want of a better description, chew on his paws. This habit is much more noticeable if we have left it too long to get him clipped and groomed. So, I am sure that he has healthier paws when his hair is kept in good order./
Grooming Your Dog at Home
With any long-haired breed, grooming is always a task that demands frequent attention. Paying for a dog groomer each month or so amounts to a reasonable on-going cost so learning how to do dog grooming at home with the help of a dog grooming ebook or a dog grooming DVD is definitely worth considering. Sometimes you will even find that your dog is much more comfortable with being groomed at home. Any time we have taken a dog to a new, unfamiliar groomer there has always been an obvious level of stress. Hence our search for some dog grooming books or dog grooming courses or dog grooming DVDs on how to manage dog grooming at home.
