Facts
for Pet Owners
Brushing
Brushing
your dog or cat's coat creates healthier more managable hair.
Frequent brushing keeps the coat from tangling, removes dead coat,
stimulates growth, and helps to clean hair and skin by removing
dirt, scale and excess oil. Brushing also helps massage the skin
and stimulate the release of sebum, a beneficial oat oil from
the base of hair follicles.
Nail
Trimming
Trimming
your dog's nails is very important. Uncared for nails can break
at the quick and be extremely painful. Overgrown nails can cause
unnatural walking and can distort the paw causing lameness, pain,
or permanent deformity.
