A new year, a new opportunity to put our best foot – or paw, as it were – forward.  Many people make resolutions to improve their outward appearance over the next 12 months, and now is a great time to do the same for our four-legged friends.

Here are just four ways that salon services help to keep your dog looking its best:

• Coat check: Seasonal allergens can wreak havoc on our pets’ skin, while coats that are left untouched can get shaggy and matted, masking potential health issues. A soothing bath and a thorough brush out can work wonders for your dog.
• Fur sure: Shedding is a nuisance, no matter how much we love our pets. And as your dog’s coat begins to get lighter in advance of spring and warmer temps, don’t be surprised to see some loose hair here, there, and… well, everywhere. De-shedding treatments can help curb this aggravation by brushing out your pet’s dead undercoat before it has a chance to clog your vacuum.
• Hear ye, hear ye: Whether your dog has button ears, blunt-tipped, V-shaped, folded, candle flame, or just plain floppy – routine and professional cleaning is a must – particularly if your dog spends a great deal of time outdoors. Dirt, grime, and other irritants can be transferred from paw to ear easily, potentially leading to infection. Grooming and salon services can provide gentle and thorough ear cleanings to keep your dog healthy, happy, and hanging on your every word (maybe).
• Fancy footwork: Regular nail trims are not only safer and more comfortable for your dog, but they help to prevent your flooring and furniture from being scratched, scuffed, and damaged.
