The Benefits of Bath Time

While various beliefs surround how often you should bathe your dog, a warm bath is almost always an enjoyable treat for your pet. In addition to keeping your pup clean after playing outside and running around the yard, there are also many benefits of bathing for their overall wellness, happiness, and even your health too! As you plan for your pets bathing needs, consider the following benefits of monthly bathing for your dog.

Shedding Control - Most pet owners know all-too well the joy of frequent vacuuming to clear stray hair and clumps of fur from the carpet and floor. But guess what? Frequent baths (and use of furminator solution) lessen shedding significantly when followed up with a thorough brushing. Most dogs shed less when they are on a regular grooming and bathing schedule - That means a cleaner house, a happier, cooler pup, and an opportunity to remember what color the rug was!

Allergy Relief - Particularly during the spring and summer months, your pet’s fur is a catch-all for allergens. And anyone who suffers the seasonal effects of pollen – you, your dog, or both – can soon start feeling the itchy, irritating effects if they’re inadvertently taken into your home. Regular baths can help to curb this cycle.

Wellness Checks - A trained groomer (like our Sarah) can often spot potential health risks and hazards, such as skin abnormalities or inflammation, while there is still time to act. Regular visits to the groomer can help to monitor your dog’s health, as we will examine the ears, teeth, nails, skin, and more!
