Dog Groomers Questions
Q: Why should I use a dog groomer?
A: A regular trip to the groomer with your dog sets your pampered pooch up for more attention and pats because he will be well groomed, perfumed, and nice to be with. The latest craze is to have your dog’s hair coloured. This can be just the ears and tail or an all over body colour with the exciting new Dyex dog dyes from Spectrum. Why stop with the hair!? Ask your groomer to apply matching doggy nail polish from Aristopet which come in a delightful range of colours.
Groomers check for signs of skin disorder, discharge, inflammation or swelling, lameness or soreness, as well as for ticks and fleas. This can help you avoid trips to the vet by treating problems as they occur.
Groomers will also check your dog’s teeth and nails. They will trim and paint nails but teeth scaling must be done at the vet under anaesthetic.
If you try to trim your dog’s nails yourself and make a mistake in judgement, you can stop bleeding with Styptic Powder which is part of the Professional Groomer range from Aristopet. Apply gentle pressure along with the powder to stop minor bleeding. For anything more severe head straight to your local vet.
