Some dog breeds require more maintenance than others to tame their coats. However, all dogs can benefit from professional grooming. If you can’t remember the last time your furry friend had a dog haircut, here are a few of the biggest reasons to schedule one soon. 

Why Your Furry Friend Needs a Dog Haircut 

1. Prevent Tangles

Dogs with fur or hair that’s especially thick, curly, or long can develop tangles over time. If left unchecked, these tangles will eventually cause matting. Matted fur or hair on any part of the body can cause pain and discomfort. It can also create the perfect hiding spot for fleas and ticks. 

2. Protect the Ears

All dogs have hair inside the ear canal. Dirt, dust, and dead skin cells can get stuck in this hair. Coupled with the ear’s warm, moist environment, this debris can become a breeding ground for bacteria. If certain bacteria make their way down into the ear, it can result in a painful infection. In other words, spending a little on grooming today could save you a lot in vet bills tomorrow.

3. Spot Abnormalities 

Groomers may not be qualified to diagnose or treat skin conditions, but they can inform pet owners if they notice potential issues during the haircut. Keeping your dogs well groomed will also make it easier for you to spot potential abnormalities at home, including lumps, bumps, and irritation—any of which might require medical intervention.
