Dog Grooming Bonita Springs Florida
Most groomers would agree that small dogs are a bit easier to handle when bathing and brushing. Dog grooming Bonita Springs, Florida does not mind if your canine friend is large or small; they will help them get clean and make them good looking for you and your family. Their services include everything from bathing, nail trims, shaving and trimming.
Starting with a toenail trim, dogs should have this done about once every two or three weeks depending on the breed. Some dog's nails will grow faster then others if they have little or no activity on concrete or pavement such as long walks on the sidewalk with their owners. This helps to wear down the nails. A professional groomer should trim toenails because the quick or blood vessel travels down the hollow nail and this could be clipped off if not careful.
Trimming the hair would be next. Some times, depending on the hair, the groomer will use a clippers or type of shaver. There are also special scissors they can use that clips and shaves at the same time. This type of scissors is generally used around the butt so that the hair is trimmed very short or almost shaved to allow bowel movements to pass without being caught in long hair.
Many large dogs have short hair and therefore will only need combing and minimal trimming to remove matting or any debris. Long-haired dogs will need extra care and some of their undercoat brushed out or thinned with a razor. Not all dogs, but some will need their anal glands expressed. This is done before the bath.
After all the trimming of the nails, the hair and if they need, their anal glands expressed, the furry pet is ready for his bath. This can sometimes be a joy and sometimes be a chore. The bath is really a shower for the canine because they would not sit still in a tub of water and the water would get too dirty to clean them. The long haired dogs will take longer to rinse out the shampoo but an average bath should not take more than about 10 to 15 minutes.
Brushing a dog as they dry is important to help keep them from knotting. This is not always done; however. Some of the short-haired dogs are nearly 'drip-dry' and will be ready for combing after a quick run over with a towel. Not all dogs will require a coat conditioner either because some of them may become too oily before their next visit.
