At home grooming tips

What kind of brush should I use at home?

I recommend a “slicker brush”. It’s a wire bristle brush that works good for brushing deep down to the skin. It’s the best brush for preventing matted hair.

How often should i bring my dog in for grooming?

Well that depends, on a few things. Dogs with longer hair need more attention. If you want to keep your dog longer I’d suggest bringing him in at least every 4 weeks. Coming in this often will help prevent matting. Yet, if you are brushing your dog at home every few days, you can possibly go up to 8 weeks between groomings. If you like to keep your dog’s hair short, you should be able to go up to 8 weeks between groomings. Obviously, these are generalizations and how often you need to bring your dog in varies based on your dogs breed and hair texture.

My dogs teeth are covered in plaque. can you brush them?

Of course I can. BUT, me brushing your dogs teeth will not remove plaque or decay. If your dogs teeth are in need of a dental cleaning, there is not much I can do to help. The best thing to do is get your dogs teeth cleaned by a professional. Then I can brush your dogs teeth to prevent plaque from returning.
