10 Summer Grooming Tips

1. Always bathe your dog after a swim to wash away any chlorine from a pool or bacteria from a lake, river or the ocean.

3. To prevent matting, brush your pet's coat weekly and every time his coat gets wet.

4. Keeping your dog's eyes as clean as possible can prevent common summertime allergens from irritating them.

5. Enjoy the summer weather and groom your pet outside. Just make sure your dog is on a leash and all your tools are within reach.'

8. Because of all the extra sunlight, your dog is likely to shed more in the summer. So help remove his dead undercoat with an Oster® rake.

9. Even though the extra outside exercise may require less nail clipping in the summer, make sure to frequently check your dog's nails for cracks or tears.
