About Winter Pet Grooming For Dogs

Winter is right around the corner and calls for special grooming needs for all pets, especially dogs. It’s time to stock up on pet grooming supplies to keep your furry friend happy and healthy throughout the cold season.

During Winter, your pet’s worst enemies are dry skin, dry coat and winter cold. It doesn’t matter if your dog has a thick coat or needs a sweater. My Pet Store and More is here to provide you the best winter pet grooming in town.

Keep your dog’s paws warm with booties.

The following are tips to help you get started with your pet grooming today:

  1. Pet groom the paws. You can appropriately pet groom the paws by keeping the hair between the pads trimmed so buildup of snow and ice won’t occur. Grooming the paws will also reduce the amount of mud you will need to clean from the paws when your dog comes in and out of the home. If your dog is a longhaired breed, always trim around the paws to keep hair off the ground. You will have less to brush and less to wash.
  2. Protect your dog’s paws with booties or protective cream. During the winter your dog’s paws will be exposed to salt that can put your dog at risks of split pads. Your dog will also be exposed to dry weather that can leave paws cracking and bleeding. With boots and paw protective cream, your dog’s paws will stay in mint condition. You should also wash paws after walks and apply protective cream when necessary.
  3. Keep your dog’s coat clean and brushed. When your dog’s coat remains as clean as possible, it can provide better insulation than a dirty and matted coat. Winter static will clump your dog’s coat, you can remove clump with a brush or grooming rake.
  4. Give your dog baths. It may be wintertime but that doesn’t mean baths should be excluded out of pet grooming. A dirty coat can’t protect your pet from wet, wind and cold like a clean coat. Use moisturizing shampoos and cream rinses for the best winter pet grooming. After baths always use a moisturizing spray on your dog to prevent the dry winter air from creating itching, hot spots and damaged skin. Brush your dog’s coat on the regular to stimulate oil in your pets skin to keep fighting the winter dry skin. Baths and plenty of moisturizer will protect the guard hairs and soft undercoat of your dog.
