The Importance of Regular Dog Grooming

Regular dog grooming is vital to the overall health and wellbeing of your pet. Not only does your pet benefit, but so will you! Here is why it is important to have regular dog grooming done and the benefits that come with it:

Detection and prevention of health problems: Having professional dog grooming done is an excellent way to catch health problems early. The dog groomer can look for lumps, infections, inflammation, or other health problems that are visible on your dog’s skin. Early detection of these health problems can lead to an easier treatment and healing process down the road.

Maintains healthy coat and fur: In order for your dog to maintain a healthy coat, it is important you groom them frequently. It can prevent mats in their fur that cause abrasions, ulcers, and general discomfort. Just regular brushing can lead to a healthier coat, but to have the best work done it is recommended to bring them to a professional groomer.

Prevents joint pain: One major benefit of dog grooming is having the nails cut. Overgrown nails may cause your pet to experience joint pain due to walking with misaligned pads. Regular trimming of the nails also prevents curling which can be very painful for your dog.

Tips for Getting Your Dog Ready for the Groomer

Most dogs do not like when strangers touch them. They can become agitated and aggressive when a groomer is trying to wash them, cut their nails & hair, and simply touching them. Dogs also may not be used to being touched and moved in certain ways that grooming requires. Here are some tips that will make it easier for your dog when going to the groomer. Do them every day for a few weeks leading up to your appointment.

• Touch Your Dog’s Ears, Mouth, and Face
• Brush Your Dog’s Entire Body
• Massage and Wiggle Their Paws
• Gently Hold Their Tail

    Gabi is the best groomer we have ever had. Our Senior dog, Roscoe, is very nervous German shepherd. When I bring him to get his spa treatment, he immediately goes with her, which he has never done before! Thank you for the entire set up at Leader of the Pack! We have had nothing but positive encounters with everyone there. If it would not have been for this establishment and their philosophies and protocols, we are not sure we would not have had the outcome we have had with Roscoe and his former behavioral issues. Please don't ever change!

    We are extremely happy with the progress we have seen in such a short period of time. The staff are absolutely amazing and we are gaining so much from the training Kasper is receiving. The trainer is addressing his needs and the behaviors that we are concerned about. What they are doing has made such a big difference! They are extremely knowledgeable and they take the time to share feedback and answer our questions. I learned real quick that our dogs are most important to them and everything else follows. Even when we are in a class, he still gets individual attention with a focus on what needs to be addressed.
    I would also highly recommend their grooming services! The groomer took on a major task with our older dog who no one could ever groom. She not only did a wonderful job, but she did it with love and care. She took the time to find out what works best for him and helped him work through his fears. She even sang “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to him during the process. What groomer does that? A wonderful groomer like her! I am so grateful to her and her very kind and gentle ways. Her personality, positive attitude, and genuine outlook made such a big difference. Reilly and Kasper both found their home away from home!

    We adopted a 16 year old dog last April and had never needed a groomer before. Since good friends board at Leader of the Pack, we took her there. WOW did we find the perfect groomer for us in Gabby!! She has outstanding knowledge of grooming and what each dog needs individually. She strives to make each dog comfortable and their owners happy. Today, as always, she went above and beyond for Pippi and we love her for it!

    I have a Samoyed show dog and Gabby grooms him. She is a really nice and sweet person, who is the same way with the dogs she grooms. She does an outstanding job grooming him. I couldn’t be happier!
