Bathing

Even for owners with a short-haired pet, regular dog bathing is important for several reasons. Of course one of the most important reasons is simple hygiene. Dogs love to participate in activities like rolling in dirt or other smelly things outside and are prone to getting dirty very easily. This poses all kinds of potential problems not least them tracking dirt and mud into the house.

Dog bathing also allows us to get a feel for the overall health of the dog. Especially once your pet begins to age, it is important to check them for skin growths, skin allergies, and injuries to the paws and legs. Bath time is the perfect opportunity to perform this task which as we get to know your dog we can help  keep an eye on.

Just like there are specialist / recommended shampoos for different types of our own hair, it is the same in the dog world. We use shampoos to compliment the dog’s coat, colour and sensitivity. We currently carry over 9 different types, for our existing customers.

Bathing is an important aspect of the grooming process. It is surprising how much dead and loose hair is left in the bath along with the dirt. When a dog malts, not all hair falls away from the body and this can create matting or itching.
