Whether they\u2019re rolling in who-knows-what or digging through the bin, it doesn\u2019t take long before they\u2019re due for a good clean. Regular dog grooming keeps fleas at bay, detangles fur, and gets rid of that unmistakable doggy smell! I take my dog, Cooper, to the groomer when I can, but as any pet parent knows, it can get pretty pricey. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve learned to handle a lot of it at home, and here are my steps for grooming your dog at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why groom your dog at home?<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_91337\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-91337\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-91337\" src=\"https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/benefits-of-grooming-your-dog-at-home.webp\" alt=\"benefits of grooming your dog at home\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/benefits-of-grooming-your-dog-at-home.webp 600w, https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/benefits-of-grooming-your-dog-at-home-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-91337\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Regularly grooming your dog at home prevents matting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many benefits for grooming your dog at home.

However, giving your dog a haircut at home will depend on your dog\u2019s type of coat and how often their fur sheds (as well as your confidence level in giving your pup a good trim).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shopee.sg\/list\/pet%20clippers\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pet clippers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are great for when you\u2019re grooming your dog at home for the first time. These clippers often come with a guard, so you avoid nipping your pet\u2019s skin, and have more control over the length of fur you\u2019re trimming. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using clippers, work your way from their neck to their back leg on one side, then repeat on the other. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes a few tries (and loads of practice) to get right, but it\u2019s important to hold your dog firmly by gently while trimming around sensitive areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Paw<\/i><\/b><b> tip<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Double-coated breeds, like Siberian Huskies and Pomeranians, should <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get a dog haircut at home as an inexperienced hand could end up damaging their fur.
