While a clean dog is always a nice thing to have around the house, proper grooming provides more than the pleasant scent of a freshly shampooed pooch. Below are five benefits highlighting the importance and benefits of grooming your dog:
Healthy Skin & Coat
Long and short-haired dogs alike benefit from regular brushing. It removes dead hair, dandruff, dirt, and also helps bring out the natural oils in a dog’s coat. Plus, regular brushing will help reduce shedding – reason enough here!
Preventive Health Care
Brushing, cleaning their teeth, clipping nails, and bathing your pup allows your groomer to inspect your pet and notice any abnormalities.
Properly Trimmed Nails
Nail trimming is a difficult task for many pet owners but an important one. Short nails are key for our dogs’ balance and proper weight distribution. Long nails can actually put stress and strain on other muscles and joints by causing them to rest their weight further back on the paw because the nail is too long. We’re here to help!
Increases Social Skills
If you begin taking your puppy to the groomer at a young age it provides great training for getting them used to having their ears cleaned, being bathed and having their nails clipped.
Happy Dog
Clean pups not only get more cuddles but have you noticed how happy your dog is after they’ve been bathed? They feel great!

This is some great information, and I appreciate your point that regularly brushing your dog can help improve the health of their coat. My husband and I are going to be getting a dog this summer, and I want to make sure that we take good care of it. We’ll definitely try to brush it regularly to keep its skin and coat healthy. Thanks for the great post!
Cool post! I learned a lot about the benefits of grooming my dog. Thank you for explaining that “Long and short-haired dogs alike benefit from regular brushing. It removes dead hair, dandruff, dirt, and also helps bring out the natural oils in a dog’s coat.” My parents take their dogs to the groomer regularly and it has really helped them to have a healthy coat of fur.

I’ve been too nervous to trim my dog by myself, especially his nails. I’m too worried that I’ll hurt him if I do it myself, so I’ll have to look into taking him to a dog groomer. That way it doesn’t look like a child cut him.
