How to Groom your Dog


Your Dog's Coat

Brushing your dog every day is something you both should enjoy. It helps to remove loose hair shakes off dander. Always brush in the same direction as the fur grows.

Bathing Your Dog

Never bathe a dog with a shampoo meant for humans or any other animal! Put your dog in the tub and use a cup or shower head to wet him down. Do not use cold or hot water! Apply a little bit of shampoo and watch out that it does not run into the dog’s eyes. Rinse thoroughly.

Use a towel to dry your dog afterwards and brush his fur when he is dry.

Clipping Your Dog's Nails

Do not use scissors; only nail clippers made for dogs.

Clip only the very tip of each nail at first. Try to make out how far the vein runs within the nail. If the vein is difficult to see, just trim a little bit at a time. Should you accidentally do draw blood; apply pressure with a clean gauze pad until bleeding stops.
