Grooming promotes a healthy coat and removes dead hair, preventing painful knots and keeps the coat in good condition. It also removes any dandruff and promotes the release of oils in the skin. Grooming is an ideal opportunity to check for any cuts, bites, bumps and health issues, enabling all to be dealt with quickly. Dogs also become more trusting and social, making visits to the vets and administering medication less stressful for both of you. At Care 4 Canines we aim to help owners meet this duty of care, both when we are providing care services through our business and also through our "Maintaining the Health & Wellbeing of your Dog" leaflet, which includes a visual health check routine for owners and is provided free to customers.
