Hollywood Feed Grooming

Grooming is not just about making your pet look pretty, it's also an important part of your pet’s health. A professional groomer can help you maintain the best health for your pet.

Regular grooming helps to spot certain health problems before they become serious. Issues such as fleas, ticks, ear infections, skin infections, and other things might be overlooked but can be found while bathing, brushing, and trimming nails. Grooming also helps rid your pet of mats. Mats can trap moisture and heat next to the skin and can cause your pet to be very uncomfortable.

The requirements for grooming your pet depends on the breed. If you have question about how often your pet should be groomed, call one of our professional groomers and they will help you in any way they can.

Hollywood Feed groomers offer a variety of services, from a simple bath and brush to an all over full cut and style.

Please call for pricing and appointment availability.

How Often Should My Dog Get a Bath?

Every dog is different. Breed, daily activity, and genetics all play a role in how often you should bathe your dog. If your dog has skin allergies, it's best to talk with your veterinarian about how often to bathe and what shampoo to use. It's important to remember to brush your dog often. It's an equally important part of your dog's skin and coat needs.

• Bathe your dog as little as possible. Unlike humans, dogs don't need daily baths. bathing too frequently can strip a dog's skin of its natural oils, drying it out and causing itchiness.


• Daily activities can influence whether or not your dog needs a bath. Does your dog like to play in the mud? Maybe a good, smelly, pile of grossness on the ground beckons your pooch to roll in it. You can't help if your dog is smelly, gets in something bad, or is just covered in dirt. But if he doesn't smell too strongly, consider rinsing him with water, then brushing his coat. It will give most dogs the splash of freshness they need.


• Certain breeds have different bathing requirements. Oily coats may need bathing more often. Short-haired breeds with smooth coats need less frequent baths. Breeds such as Labrador Retrievers and Goldens should be bathed less often to preserve their natural oils and water repellent coats. Breeds with double coats need tons of brushing, but fewer baths. Choose a high-quality, sulfate and paraben free shampoo.

Remember:

• Always use a high-quality, sulfate and paraben free shampoo. It's better for your dog's skin and won't strip it of its natural oils.


• Always take your time bathing your dog and associate a bath with good things. Talk to him in a soothing, calm voice. Reward calm behavior with a treat.


• Be sure to rinse all of the shampoo out of your dog's coat. Any left in the fur can irritate his skin.


• We provide dryers for your convenience, but sometimes a good towel drying then air drying is best. Hot air can cause your dog's skin to dry out and in turn be itchy.
