For years, dog owners suffered the misconception that bathing too often is bad for their dog's coat. This myth is the consequence of poor grooming practices: using harmful household soaps, ultra-cold garden hose water, or human shampoos with inappropriate pH balance. With quality products made specifically for dogs, a dog can, and should, be bathed as often as needed, even on a daily basis.
Taking proper grooming care of your dog can be a rewarding experience that will result in a healthier dog, and a healthy relationship between you and your dog.

We feel that proper dog grooming comes down to a simple premise: keeping your dog clean and well-groomed helps promote good health. Veterinarians and dog professionals agree that a dog's coat is a barometer of its well-being. If the coat looks rough or the skin overly flaky, it is a strong sign of poor canine health. And if kept unchecked, your dog's quality of life will suffer. Our dogs play with and kiss our kids, they sleep on our beds, they travel in our cars, and sometimes they eat off our tables. So, clearly, a dog's cleanliness can affect the entire household.

Proper grooming care is good for both you and your dog. We recommend an all natural grooming products: grooming care with the appropriate pH balance for your dog will enhance its coat without removing the essential oils.

Grooming Your Dog

The selection of grooming tools available to you can be overwhelming. We can help: below is some basic grooming advice which will help you do right by your dog.
What you use and how you use it depends entirely on the breed of dog, the type of coat the dog has, and the desired outcome. The professional groomer or dog show handler has a thorough understanding of these variables. We’d suggest working with a respected handler or groomer to learn the best options for your particular dog. Your dog's breeder should also be able to give you guidance. Any reputable breeder who has the best interests of the dog at heart will welcome the opportunity to educate you in proper grooming techniques for your particular pet. There are also a number of excellent books available on the market that explain in detail the different tools and how to use them.
In general, most breeds will need a few basic tools to keep the coat and skin in great shape. Brushes, combs, shedding or stripping tools, de-matting tools and nail trimmers come in various sizes and types and have specific purposes.
Just as there are different Dog products for bathing your dog, different coat types will need different styles of tools. Choosing quality grooming tools designed specifically for your dog is very important to the health of the coat and skin, and they are easier to use than adapted ‘human’ brushes and combs – which can actually be inappropriate for your dog’s coat and skin. A Balanced Nutrition is also a major factor in your dogs coat, skin and health.
