West Columbia, SC (PRWEB) July 02, 2013 -- Palmetto Pet Resort advises canine owners to continue their dog grooming schedule in the busy summer months. Proper dog grooming is essential to the health of the animal. After spring, dogs are dirty; they have greasy, matty hair and long nails that need to be taken care of.
Grooming dogs in the summer can help reduce the heat and make the dog a little more comfortable. However, it's important to remember that dogs have a natural cooling system and don't need as much grooming as owners may think.
It may be tempting to shave off all that thick hair for the summer, but Palmetto Pet Resort recommends dog owners against it. Dogs use their coats as natural weather control and do not benefit from being completely shaved down. In fact, this can be uncomfortable and lead to skin problems since a dog's skin isn't meant to be exposed to that level of sun.
Additionally, due to the danger of heatstroke, never leave a canine in the car in hot weather, even with the windows partially open. Much like humans, they need to curtail their physical activity when the temperature soars and when outdoors. They should always have access to shade and water.
Being well groomed improves a dog’s mental state which leads to better behavior. For more information and treatment options, call the exceptional grooming staff Palmetto Pet Resort at 803-791-Pets [7387].
