Grooming is essential for maintenance and health, with experts advising owners to regularly brush, clean ears, trim nails, and perform dental care. At-home grooming must be performed with safe, appropriate tools, and tailored to each pet’s age and breed. For instance, short-haired breeds require less frequent brushing, while long-haired pets benefit from deeper coat care.
Teaching pets to accept grooming procedures through positive, stress-free methods is crucial in fostering cooperation and preventing anxiety.
