There are a few things that can help stretch out the wonderful smell and look of your dog after a pet grooming appointment. Here are the things you can do to keep your dog’s coat fresh after a pet grooming appointment:
Brush your dog regularly - Although pet grooming will thin out the undercoat of your dog, it won’t prevent your dog from shedding. It’s very important to keep up with brushing your dog at home to reduce the shedding that occurs regularly.
Use waterless shampoo - Waterless shampoo will be your lifesaver when it comes to pet grooming at home. The convenience of not having to worry about setting aside time to fully wash down and dry your dog is amazing. You simply apply some waterless shampoo to a cloth or just spray it on your dog and spot-clean them. This will save you time and allow you to skip the wet dog smell that comes with bathing your dog at home.
Use sheets to cover your couch - Cleaning the fabric of your couch is much harder than throwing sheets into your washing machine. You can also do this with a couch cover when the biggest goal is making it easier to clean up your dog. The use of a cover or sheet will also keep your furniture from smelling like the outdoors. Keeping the surfaces your pet lays on laundered will prolong the work done at professional pet grooming facilities.
Put a towel in front of your door - It won’t catch all the mud, but it will catch enough to make a huge difference in how your floors look. Placing a towel by the door will allow you to wipe your dog’s paws immediately before they run into the house.
