Dog Grooming Vs Professional Grooming
03 Mar 2010
I have heard a lot of dog owners asking if home grooming is better than professional grooming. Dog grooming is effectively the cleaning of a dog and there are two persons who can groom your dog; a professional dog groomer and
yourself.
Your decision to groom your dog yourself or get a professional to do so actively impacts upon your dog’s happiness. It is worth taking the time to think long and hard about it all. I will be answering your questions with a two part newsletter. So, today we will be discussing the advantages of dog grooming at home.
Before you send spot to a professional dog groomer or groom him at home;
===============================================================
HERE ARE THE ADVANTAGES TO GROOMING YOUR DOG AT HOME
===============================================================
———————————-
YOU CAN CONTROL THE ENVIRONMENT
———————————-
If you groom your dog then you will be doing so at home in a comfortable environment that your dog feels at home in. You can therefore control the way that he or she feels by using the safety and comfort of the environment.
You can control the grooming experience as well so if your dog does not respond well to something the first time then you can introduce it slowly. A professional groomer WILL NOT necessarily do that because they will be intent on providing exactly what you asked for.

IT IS CHEAPER
—————
It can be much cheaper to groom your dog yourself because you are paying for the equipment, time and effort of a professional dog groomer and yet will only pay for the former if you are doing it yourself.
This can be a major expense saver that comes with so many other benefits that it really is value for money.

ENHANCING BONDING
——————-
This is the main advantage of grooming your dog yourself. You can actively look to form a bond with your dog that goes above and beyond any other bond.
The close personal attention that your dog gets does not come in any other form and the shared experience can really make you feel a connection to your dog that is founded on that.
There are also some disadvantages as well;

HAVE TO BUY THE TOOLS
———————–
The tools for grooming your dog do cost a bit to start with so there is an initial outlay. There are also ongoing costs that may be more or less depending on exactly what you need, what breed of dog you have and the wear and tear on your grooming tools.
You have no way of knowing what your costs will be but here is a tip if you do decide to go for home grooming invest in quality tools because they will last you longer and save you money in the long term. They are worth every penny.
That’s it for now.
