Grooming Your Dog

Do you groom your dog daily? Personally, I don't groom my dog because he just shakes around.

What is the point of grooming anyway? I see lots of people getting the brush out and brushing the fur. I think it's fine when it isn't combed down.

My dad gets his dogs groomed professionally, but my mom just brushes hers. My dad's dogs seem really proud when they come back from the groomer.

RE: Grooming Your Dog

I only brush him.
I am a bit careless I think about him.
But I love my dog, really.

I think just brushing is fine unless you're planning on showing the dog. My dog always enjoys getting brushed.

RE: Grooming Your Dog

I give my dogs a bath at least once a day. I don't want fleas and other parasites on them. Those pests can really take a toll on my dog's health. Redface

this is what my veteranarian reccomends, but I can't find the time to do it regularly. Generally, my dog gets washed once every two weeks, but I guess that is better than nothing.

RE: Grooming Your Dog

We used to have this kiddie pool and I got that from my parents and use it to bathe my dogs in. I don't let anyone use it anymore because that would be disgusting. Rolleyes Needless to say, my dogs enjoy it; but I always make sure that it's a warm day whenever I give them a bath. I don't want them to freeze to death.

I give my dog a bath at least three times a week. Dachshunds would really smell if you won't groom them well. Eek

RE: Grooming Your Dog

Good luck with trying to groom my dog. He doesn't like it very much, and he certainly lets me know.
