Everyone loves playing in the sunshine, including your dogs! As summer heats up, though, it's important to have a proper dog grooming routine for the season. The professionals at Ty-D-Paws Express in Lincoln, NE, understand the importance of maintaining your dog's health and appearance. With 16 years of expertise in caring for the skin, coat, ears, and nails of various breeds, they know what it takes to make summer grooming comfortable, convenient, and pain-free.

Here are some tips from the experts at Ty-D-Paws Express to make your dog grooming experience a breeze:

• Regularly Bathe Your Dog: Summertime for your dog often means lots of fun playing outside in the dirt, grass, and sand. This also means regular baths are necessary for a happy and fresh-smelling pet. Depending on the breed, a pet bath two or three times a month with lukewarm water and dog-specific shampoo will keep them clean.
• Consider the Best Dog Haircut for Hot Weather: Trimming your pup’s fur will keep shedding under control as well as keep them comfortable. With many different breeds of dogs, however, it can be hard to determine the right haircut. The expert groomers at Ty-D-Paws Express can help you decide the most appropriate summer cut for your furry friend.
• Remember to Give Your Pet a Good Brushing: Brushing is something that benefits all dogs. It not only provides your pet with a luxurious coat, but it also aids the deshedding process and prevents fur from matting. It's one of the best ways to keep your dog's skin healthy!
• Check the Ears: If your dog likes to swim or play in the water during the summer, it is important to check their ears regularly. Wet ears can promote infection. After playing in the water, wipe your pup's inside earflap with soft cotton.  
• Look for Fleas & Ticks: Bugs can become a serious problem for your pet if left unchecked. Though ticks are not as high in numbers as fleas, they can carry life-threatening illnesses, so it is important to regularly check your dog's belly, ears, and the base of their tail for insects.
