Grooming

While trimming your dog’s nails might seem like an unnecessary inconvenience, it is extremely important to your dog’s overall health. A dog’s nails should be clipped often enough that they remain short enough to not click on the ground when a dog walks.  Long nails that touch the ground may cause discomfort for your dog, and potentially cause problems down the road. If you want your canine to be comfortable and happy, then keeping their toenails at a reasonable length is a necessity. 

Let’s be honest, no matter how often you brush your dog’s teeth, it can still have foul-smelling breath. While brushing your dog’s teeth on a daily basis is a good first step toward good dental health, there are a few additional things that dog owners can do to ensure healthy teeth and gums. The majority of dogs suffer from some degree of periodontal disease, so it is vital to follow a dental care routine.
