The Complete Guidance to Summer Dog Grooming

July 10, 2023

Summer is the season when dogs are vulnerable to hot weather. In order to ensure the health and comfort of dogs, we need to give them a good summer grooming. Here is a complete guide to summer dog grooming to help you create a cool and stylish summer for your dog.

 

Hair Trimming

Hot weather in summer is easy to make dogs feel hot and uncomfortable. Therefore, it is very important to trim your dog's hair properly. Depending on your dog's breed and hair type, you can choose to trim the hair shorter for better heat dissipation. However, do not trim the hair too short, so that the dog is exposed to the sun to avoid sunburn.

 

Hair Cleaning

summer is easy to make the dog's hair become greasy and dirty. It is very important to bathe your dog regularly. Choose shampoos and treatments that are suitable for your dog's skin and hair type and avoid human shampoos and soaps. After bathing, gently dry your dog's hair with a towel to avoid leaving them wet in the sun.

 

Skin Care

Summer is easy to make the dog's skin irritated and infected. Check your dog's skin regularly and consult your veterinarian if you notice redness, itching, or other abnormalities. At the same time, you can choose some natural skin care products to help keep your dog's skin healthy.

 

Ear Cleaning

Summer is easy to make your dog's ears wet and breed bacteria. Check your dog's ears regularly. If you notice an odor, discharge, or redness, it could be a sign of an ear infection. Using an appropriate ear cleaner and cotton ball, gently clean your dog's ears, but do not overclean them so as not to irritate the ear canal.

 

Paw Trimming

Summer dog PAWS are prone to bacteria and mess. Trim your dog's PAWS regularly to keep them clean and healthy. If you're not sure how to trim your dog's PAWS, ask a professional pet groomer for help.

 

Pest Control Measures

Summer is an active season for many pests, such as mosquitoes, fleas and ticks. To protect your dog from these pests, choose a suitable pest control product, such as a repellent collar, spray or smears. At the same time, check your dog's skin regularly and take immediate steps to remove fleas or ticks if found.

 

In conclusion, summer dog grooming is very important to help them stay healthy and comfortable. By properly clipping hair, cleaning skin and ears, trimming PAWS and insect protection, we can create a cool and stylish summer for dogs. At the same time, checking your dog's health regularly and consulting a veterinarian in time can help us detect and deal with potential health problems. Only in this way can we ensure that dogs have a healthy and happy summer.
