Owners dedicated to pet health are careful about their animal’s hygiene. A clean coat, healthy skin, and trimmed nails are pleasant to look at and smell good, evidence of an animal companion that is generally fit and well. In addition, regular pet grooming raises awareness of developing problems such as:
- Dry, brittle coat
- Patches of hair loss
- Skin lesions
- External parasites
- Lumps or tender spots
In cold weather, grooming is especially important for the development of thick healthy coats and prevention of ice and snow damage to vulnerable areas like the ears and paws. During flea and tick season, regular grooming may be combined with parasite prevention for total animal skin care.
