Canine hygiene is far more important than a lot of pet
owners think. It’s not just a bath to smell nice; it is far more than that.
Your pet’s hygiene plays an important role in his/her health and happiness. From
head to toe; teeth to nails, and everything in between these are the basic
needs (and rights) of a domestic pet. As pet owners we need to provide these
basic needs; it is our obligation from the moment we accept a pet into our
life. It’s quite sad to say that the number of people who do not understand
this concept far out weighs the people who do. In my line of business I
encounter a
minimum of three pets
every work day, who are deprived of these needs, or neglected until the point
that it cannot be procrastinated any longer, in some cases ordered by the
S.P.C.A.(Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to have their dog
groomed because it is bordering on animal cruelty. In extreme cases like
this one owners can face jail time for neglecting to groom their pets; it
is a form of animal cruelty.
Grooming your pet doesn't have to mean spending
copious amounts of money. A grooming salon offers a service at a fee, that’s
not to say that you can’t invest the time and educate yourself on how to groom
your pet yourself at a fraction of the cost (tools need to be purchased, such
as clippers scissors etc). The internet can be a use full tool to help you
learn how to shave your pet’s coat off, trim his/her nails, clean their ears
and brush their teeth. However; if this is not something you would feel
comfortable doing or prefer not to take the time and energy to do so, then
paying the fees for the service provided at a grooming salon is in turn your
responsibility as a pet owner.
