Best Grooming Clippers for Dogs

Grooming is a vital part of the well-being and healthiness of a dog which can improve their lifespan. How much grooming a dog needs depends on its breed, age, and health.

Regular grooming helps to ensure the dog is healthy and comfortable. While many dogs shed, others such as the poodle, do not shed as profusely and require grooming by a professional every 6–8 weeks maximum.

The main reasons for daily grooming include:

1. Decreased chance of various health problems, such as thrush, scratches, and other skin problems

2. General cleanliness of the dog

3. Monitoring of the dog's health by checking for cuts, heat, swelling, lameness, or changes in temperament, all of which could be indicative of illness

4. Forging of a closer bond between dog and owner

5. Reducing infestation load of external parasites on the skin

6. Avoid matting that can potentially cause health concerns like skin irritation or the entrapment of harmful bacteria in the coat.
