Grooming Tips & Tricks

In this guide, we'll share essential tips and tricks for grooming your pet during the summer months, ensuring they can enjoy the season to the fullest.


  1. Brushing Basics: Regular brushing is essential during the summer to remove loose fur, prevent matting, and promote airflow to your pet's skin. We'll discuss the best brushing techniques for different coat types and how to choose the right brush for your pet.


  2. Cooling Baths: Nothing beats a refreshing bath on a hot summer day! We'll cover the importance of using cool (not cold) water and pet-safe shampoos to cleanse your pet's coat while soothing their skin. Plus, tips for drying your pet quickly and safely to prevent overheating.


  3. Protective Grooming: Summer grooming isn't just about aesthetics—it's also about protecting your pet from the sun's harmful rays and pesky parasites. We'll explore the benefits of pet-safe sunscreen, flea and tick prevention, and how to trim excess fur to keep your pet cool and comfortable.


  4. Paw Care: Hot pavement and sandy beaches can take a toll on your pet's paws. We'll share tips for keeping your pet's paws healthy and protected, including regular nail trims, paw pad inspections, and the benefits of paw balms or booties.


  5. Hydration and Nutrition: Proper hydration and nutrition are crucial for your pet's well-being during the summer. We'll discuss the importance of providing fresh water, choosing hydrating treats, and adjusting your pet's diet to accommodate their increased activity levels.
