Pet Grooming 101: Help Your Pup Look and Feel Great

Keeping your pet clean and well-groomed is essential for their overall health and happiness. At Pet and Home Care, we offer expert grooming, self-wash stations, and premium products to make pet care easy and stress-free. Here’s how to get the most out of your grooming routine—whether you DIY or leave it to the pros.

🧽 Grooming Tips for a Happy Pet Experience

Simple best practices can make grooming enjoyable—instead of stressful—for your pup:

  • Regular Routine:
    • Groom consistently to help your pet get comfortable with baths, brushing, and nail trims.
    • Wondering how often?
        • Long-haired breeds: Every 4–6 weeks.
        • Short-haired breeds: Every 6–8 weeks.
        • Nail trims: Monthly for most pets.
    • Pro Grooming Tip: Experienced groomers are always in high demand, especially during peak seasons. Book your next two grooming sessions at once to reduce wait times and last-minute stress. 👉 Schedule your grooming appointments now →
    • Self-Wash Tip: Prefer to bathe your pet yourself? Our fully-equipped self-wash stations are open daily. Schedule a weekday for the most availability. 👉 Reserve your self-wash spot →
  • Gentle Handling:
    • Stay calm and patient. Use praise and treats to reinforce a positive experience.
  • Check Water Temperature:
    • Use lukewarm water—not too hot or cold—for a comfortable bath.
  • Brush Before Bathing:
    • Brushing first helps detangle and allows shampoo to work more effectively.
  • Mind Sensitive Areas:
    • Take extra care around ears, eyes, paws, and belly.
  • Dry Thoroughly:
    • Pat gently and dry thoroughly, especially in ears and paws, to avoid skin irritation or infections.
  • Monitor Nails and Ears:
    • Regularly check for buildup, odor, or discomfort.

Pro Tip: Check out the ASPCA grooming guide for more breed-specific tips.

💈 Why Professional Grooming Matters

Professional grooming does more than improve your pet’s appearance—it supports their overall well-being:

  • Proper coat maintenance and shedding control
  • Cleaner, healthier home environment
