The task for you then is to weigh the service, facilities, staff skills and expertise, and location to pinpoint your particular shop. The second is by grooming your dog on your own. That is, you can buy one of those body sprays in the grocery. Find one that you like and spray them all over your dog. Be sure to put some on areas that have the tendency to smell bad. If you want to be certain that the spray will not harm your dog, you can check out your local health store and find one containing essences that are known not to cause irritations. By means of brushing the coat of your pet regularly, you would be able to keep his coat healthy and shiny all the time. What is being recommended by experts is to brush the coat several times week. 3.Trimming the nails.

Do this gently. Trim the nails of your pet using a nail clipper. A dog with a properly trimmed nail is positively healthy. Proper Nail Cutting: In trimming the nails of your pet, have someone to sit beside you. Gently place his paws in your hands while slowly pulling them forward. If in case your pet doesn't like to be handled that way, get acquainted with him/her by giving praise and treats. Steadily shorten one nail. Stop before you get to the pick.
