Westlake Village Pet Grooming, It's Pawfect- Summer Cut on a Golden!

You may even want to put a muzzle on your pet to protect both you and them. If you wash your dog outside, wash it in a fenced yard so that the temptation to run will be short lived and safe. Pet grooming is best left to a professional. The temptation to do it yourself may lead to a successful experience that will be cheaper. 

In the wild cats need their sharp claws to defend themselves and to help them capture and kill prey, Feral cats keep their nail from becoming overly long by walking around on hard surfaces that wear down the nail, keeping it sharp. The only real use house cats have for their claws is scratching furniture and occasionally swiping at their human caretakers. 

Contrary to the cat's belief, the experience should not be too upsetting and fortunately, upon becoming dry, most cats will eventually forgive their offending owner. If, however, the cat has been exposed to other items such as grease, or tree sap, the owner will need to perform a full bath complete with mild shampoo. 

The best, most humane way to protect both human and animal during pet grooming is to use a muzzle. Though some people think that a muzzle is cruel, it can keep the animal restrained and stop them from possible doing harm. A muzzle fits around the dog's mouth and is secured around the back of the head with ties or straps. 

The simple bonding that is demonstrated between an animal and their owner during grooming is the most important aspect of the mental health of your animal. while grooming, you are constantly hands-on, stroking your animal and pulling out mats and snags in their hair that may have been a source of discomfort. 

Not only will you be preventing a bout of itching your dog will love the time spent with its owner. Bathing your dog is an excellent way to prevent your dog from developing an itching problem. But don't plan on bathing your dog on a daily basis. To much water and shampoo will completely strip your dog of the oils that are naturally found on the dog's skin.
