Dog grooming gets difficult during the summer, with scorching temperatures taking their toll on your pup’s precious coat. With outdoor activities in full swing, maintaining comfort and cleanliness is vital. As Lincoln, NE’s go-to grooming source, the pros at Ty-D-Paws Express share three key tips for helping your pet look and feel fresh this summer.

Find the Right Groomer

Dog haircuts shouldn’t be completed by just anyone, so seek a professional who will get the job done right. This requires research — ensure your dog grooming location has properly trained, experienced professionals on staff, and ask to view their work. Friends and family are an excellent source for recommendations, but search online as well. With reviews readily available, you’ll discover a salon that meets your unique needs.

Be Careful With Cuts

Not all breeds require a major buzz cut. For some dogs, this makes self-cooling abilities surprisingly more difficult. Incorrect haircuts also prevent coats from growing back correctly, so you’ll need a groomer who’s familiar with the needs of various breeds. 

Make Bathing a Priority

Bathing should be a priority during summer to keep your dog clean and fresh all season.  Make bathing easier by using only a few inches of water — more may frighten your pooch. Soak your animal before applying shampoo, working it carefully from head to tail while avoiding the eyes. Toys, treats, and playtime can also make the bathing experience more fun.
