Why is Pet Grooming So Important?

Why is Pet Grooming Important

To answer this important question, pet grooming is a very

important aspect of hygiene and the emotional well being

of your pet. Can you imagine not being able to choose

how and when to cleanse yourself. Not getting your hair

cut or nails done. Your pets don't have that luxury. Of

course they groom themselves with their tongues and paws,

but having no opposing thumbs they cannot pick up a scrub

brush and get at the hard to reach places. Our pets need

the care, love and attention of their owners and pet

grooming lets them know they are loved as well as getting

their needs met.

When you get a new puppy or kitten, grooming is an

important way to bond with them. The constant touching

when you brush or wash your pet is soothing

and gives the young pet a sense of well being.

The more attention you give to your pet, the stronger

the relationship between caregiver and animal becomes.

Grooming a pet early on also prepares them for interacting

with a professional groomer later on. The pet will feel more secure

and the situation will be less stressful when they are being

handled by a stranger.

Eliminate Pet Scariness

Pets will get used to the necessary tools used in

grooming if they are groomed at an early age. Scissors

and brushes can be scary to a puppy or kitten.initial reaction

might to be to bite or claw at the brush. By starting slow and

using soothing sounds, the owner can make the animal feel

more comfortable thus allowing for stronger strokes to applied.

Once confidence and bonding builds, the entire pet grooming

process and be utilized.

Trimming of pets nails is another aspect of grooming.

Inside pets especially need their nails cut since they

have a tendency to grow and be painful to walk on. The

nails will split easier if left unattended irritating the

pets paws.

grow to be a stable animal with the good benefits of

hygiene and good health. It will become a habit that

both the pet and the owner will grow to enjoy together.
