A regular grooming schedule helps maintain a productive, healthy life. A pet that is not groomed regularly becomes more susceptible to flea and tick infestations. Fleas and ticks thrive in matted dirty hair. Some people say " oh my pet doesn't mat" but I have showed people the mats that they don't see under the top layer of fur and they are totally surprised. Once the pest have taken hold in this type of matted coat they are harder to remove.
As the coat and skin becomes dryer the more the pet sheds, the dander then increases and possibly they will begin to scratch and the itchy spots causing scratches,which can lead to sores and then to infection. Properly moisturizing and cleaning will help prevent this problem.
Eye,ear and Nail care often get overlooked. The ears should be debri free, very little wax and no smell. If any of these signs are present your pet should have their ears cleaned. The eyes should be clear and free of hair and mucus with clean faces. The nails should be short and not ingrown into the pad. an ingrown nail can cause extreme pain and infection. Which can make them less likely to play and be social.
Regular grooming can also make your lovely pet feel better. Which makes them more likely to be friendly and social. They play more therefore getting more excercise. A clean well groomed pet is a happy pet.
