So, I've been blessed with two amazing poodles, Bella and Millie. Over the years, I have learnt some cool grooming tips. Here's my take on Dog Grooming 101:
Brushing: Depending on your pooch's hair, regular brushing can be weekly or daily. It helps get rid of dirt, dead hair and prevent matting. Always use a brush suitable for your dog's hair.
Bathing: Less is more when it comes to baths. Frequent bathing can dry out dogs' skin. Every 4-6 weeks should be good and always use dog-friendly products.
Nail Trimming: Ouch! Trimming your doggo's nails can be scary, for both. Make sure you're confident and calm. Also, have a styptic powder on hand in case of accidental cuts.
Teeth Cleaning: Bad breath is a sign of dental problems. Regular at-home cleaning and annual vet cleaning can ensure your pup's pearly whites are actually white.
Ear Cleaning: Regular ear cleaning prevents infections. Be gentle and use cotton balls or gauze, not cotton swabs.
Remember, be patient and treat him/her after every step. Turn grooming into a rewarding experience for your pooch!

Patience is key. Can’t emphasize that enough! When we first started grooming our husky, Charley, he was none too happy about it. But we kept at it - calm, patient and lotsa treats. Now he just looooves getting his spa days. Just remember, it's all a process. 😊

Some solid advice here. Just throwin in my 2 cents as a pro groomer, I'd recommend investing in a high velocity dryer if your pooch has a thick coat. It's great for after bath times - removes excess water, reduces matting, and it's a game changer for shedding dogs. Just remember to introduce it slowly and use ear protection for your furry friend 🐶
