Written by Dogs are man’s best friends and deserve to be pampered! This is best advocated by dog owners who take their pooches to fancy pet grooming spas and dog salons and let them have a pedicure, de-tangling, hot oil treatment, aromatherapy, stylish haircuts etc. to name a few. Not sure whether our four-legged friends agree on this or are even aware of what is being done to them. But basic grooming is essential for your pet dogs else they may cause health problems to other members of the family.
Pet owners who are super-busy and have no time for even basic grooming can opt for dog spas and salons. Let us check out the different services provided by dog spas and salons.
Dog Spa Services
- Coat Brushing : Brushing is a must for getting rid of parasites like fleas and ticks. It controls shedding and stimulates blood flow and oil distribution to the coat, resulting in a healthy and shiny coat.
- Spa Shampoo bath / Skin conditioning bath: As the name suggests, this involves giving a shampoo bath or bubble bath to the dog. The shampoos and other products used are soap and detergent free.
- Nail Trimming : is a must as long nails tend to curl and cause pain and infection. They may split and cause injury to the dog and you.
- Tooth Brushing : This curbs doggie bad breath, stimulates blood flow to the gums and prevents gum disease.
- Ear Cleaning : is very important for pet dogs to eliminate wax build up and bacterial and fungal growth.
- De-shedding, Blow Drying and combing followed by cuts from experienced pet stylists top the list.
- In addition, bows or bandanas may be used to give your pooch that special look.
Dog spas use special products like shampoos, conditioners, itchy skin solutions, cologne sprays, anti-itch sprays, butter balms for dry cracked noses and paws, aromatic mists, dog smog remedies, arthritis and dental products, tear stain removal products and so on. These products are usually different for different breeds of dogs. They are imported and bio-degradable.
U.S. and Canadian customers can buy a whole lot of dog grooming and dog care supplies at petco.com and dog.com . Another online store for reliable dog care products is Amazon.com and it even offers international shipping.
Some dog salons have their own trained and licensed vets which help you get a health checkup done for your dog!
