Grooming a dog in the winter isn\u2019t too different from grooming during other seasons, but the cold climate means there\u2019s a few extra details to look out for. Being aware and knowledgeable will help you and your clients\u2019 dogs stay comfortable and healthy all winter long!<\/p>\n<p>For most dogs, winter grooming may just take a little longer than usual. But for others, there may be more pressing grooming issues to be mindful of. This all depends on the dog\u2019s breed and lifestyle. A few preliminary questions about how a dog lives during the winter will help you make the best decision on how to groom a dog properly. Speak to your clients before you make any winter grooming decisions so everyone is happy and their dog remains healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Keep these common winter grooming aspects in mind.

Be sure clients check paws thoroughly after walks so no salt gets stuck between the dog\u2019s toes. Salt will make a dog very uncomfortable and can cause further problems if not cleaned out properly; road salt can be sharp, and the last thing you want is for your pal to have a small bit of salt jamming into his paw. To avoid this, wipe down his paws after a walk or see if he\u2019ll wear a pair of booties to cover the delicate paw pads.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_completely\"><\/span>Dry completely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Remember that old saying, \u201cDon\u2019t go outside with your hair wet\u201d? Well you really shouldn\u2019t, and neither should a dog. Wet hair in cold weather will make him cold and uncomfortable. Wet hair can also lead to hypothermia (just as it can in humans!). Whether you\u2019ve just given your dog a bath or he\u2019s been jumping around in the slush, make sure you dry his fur completely before letting him stay in the cold.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brush_carefully\"><\/span>Brush carefully<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With cold weather comes thicker fur, and that means more brushing than usual. Although many dogs stay inside most of the season, their bodies will sense the change of weather when they head outside for a walk. Dogs\u2019 fur needs to be brushed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcpetstudies.com\/pet-groomers-matted-dog-coat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">avoid mats and tangles<\/a>. If your clients prefer to keep having their dog\u2019s hair cut throughout the winter, just be sure that he\u2019s warm enough when they take him outside. Investing in a dog coat and timing his outdoor activity will keep his temperature comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>If a dog doesn\u2019t have his hair trimmed, be aware of how often he\u2019s being brushed. Longer fur can hide his skin even more than usual, so you need to be careful that there\u2019s no skin concerns that hide away. Professional groomers are trained to watch out for ailments on a dog\u2019s body and even a quick bath at the groomers can catch problems that otherwise would stay hidden. Be sure to tell clients any skin problems you notice or think they should watch for on their dog![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8732&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beware_of_dry_skin\"><\/span>Beware of dry skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The dry winter climate doesn\u2019t only wreak havoc on your own skin, but it affects dogs\u2019 skin as well. Keep an eye out for signs of dry skin. Spotting dry patches is pretty easy considering the signs from a dog aren\u2019t that different from humans. If a dog has dandruff, for example, that usually means his skin is dry and flaky. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for your client\u2019s dog. Just as well, if you notice a dog is wildly scratching his skin during the winter this may be a sign of dryness. Advise clients to be sure their dog drinks enough water and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcpetstudies.com\/pros-cons-raw-feeding-cats-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eats healthy foods<\/a>. Good nutrition is important for healthy skin! What happens inside the body is as important as what happens outside, and a nutritious diet keeps skin (and fur) in great condition.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]Winter grooming will keep dogs healthy all year round, which allows owners to sleep easy.
