There is no doubt that dogs really are man’s best friend. How could they not be? They are cute, snuggly, and are always happy to wag their tail and greet you.

Along with trips to the vet and groomer, there are many things you can do yourself. You may even be able to skip the groomer or cut back on your number of visits. Let’s take a look at some helpful information:

The more you do it, the quicker your dog will get used to it. For example, if you only clean their ears once every 6 months, your dog may not be very cooperative. But if you do it regularly, your dog may actually enjoy it and fight you less.
Monthly baths are a must. It’s important to give your pup a bath no less than once a month. You don’t want to do it too often because it will cause the natural oils to be stripped in your dog’s fur. Use dry shampoo in between washings for best results.
Clean their fur, clip nails, and wipe down their ears and eyes. These things should be done as needed. It’s equally important to keep your dog’s coat brushed and free of tangles.
Don’t forget their teeth! You may not think about it, but cleaning your dog’s teeth is so important. Plus, dog dental work is very expensive. Small breeds and older dogs are particularly at risk for dental issues. So keep their chompers clean! We like to give Bentley some natural chew treats to help keep his teeth clean between brushings.
