At-Home Grooming Tips
After a professional cleaning, a lot of owners can keep their dog or cat coats and keep them looking tidy. Ask your groomer for the type of brush that suits your pet’s fur. Use it to remove tangles and dirt while spreading oils around the coat. Doing so keeps the skin healthy and cuts down on irritation.
For pets with long hair, start at the stomach and legs, then work your way up. Put the fur on your dog or cat’s tail down the center, then brush each side. Use an upward motion to lift the fur and encourage cleaning.
When it comes to cats, you can tell whether they need a bath by the oiliness of their fur or if they get into something sticky or smelly. Make sure you are using a cat-safe shampoo. Brush them first to keep your hair from clogging your drain, then put down a rubber mat to make your cat comfortable.
Fill the tub or sink with a few inches of warm water, then wet your cat thoroughly with a pitcher or hose. Please stay away from their face, especially their nose and eyes. Dogs typically need more frequent baths. Start bathing them from the neck, then rinse them with warm water.
