Grooming Essentials
At Oasis Dog Grooming, we know that regular grooming is essential for your dog's overall health and happiness. A clean coat reduces shedding and prevents skin irritations.
Brushing your dog at least 2-3 times a week can prevent matting and tangling, especially for breeds with long hair. Regular brushing also helps to distribute skin oils, keeping their coat shiny and healthy.
Nail trimming is a crucial part of dog grooming, as overgrown nails can cause discomfort and lead to health issues. At Oasis Dog Grooming, we recommend trimming your dog's nails every 4-6 weeks.
A good dog shampoo can make all the difference in keeping your dog's coat clean and healthy. Our expert groomers use a pH-balanced shampoo that's gentle on your dog's skin and suitable for all coat types.
Regular ear cleaning is essential to prevent infections and reduce the risk of ear mites. We recommend cleaning your dog's ears weekly with a gentle ear cleaner.
Bathing your dog too frequently can strip their coat of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. We recommend bathing your dog every 2-3 months, or as needed.

What to Do When Grooming My Dog
Grooming your dog can be a daunting task, but with the right approach, it can be a breeze. Consider your dog's breed when determining their grooming needs, as some dogs require more frequent nail care or dematting due to their hair volume.
If you're unsure where to start, it's a good idea to choose a reputable groomer, like Oasis Dog Grooming, who offer a variety of services, including nail trim and grinding, ear cleaning, and brush and de-matting. They even offer a choice of shampoo to suit your dog's needs.
Remember, the frequency of grooming depends on the regularity of professional grooming. A dog that visits the groomer once a fortnight is going to be much less work than a dog who visits the groomer once every 3 months.

Post-Grooming Care
After a good grooming session, it's essential to keep your dog's coat looking its best by brushing their fur regularly, ideally 2-3 times a week, to prevent matting and tangling.
You should also pay attention to their nails, as overgrown nails can cause discomfort and lead to health issues. Trimming your dog's nails every 4-6 weeks can help prevent this.
A well-groomed dog is not only visually appealing but also a reflection of their overall health. Regular grooming sessions can help you detect any potential health issues early on, such as skin irritations or ear infections.
It's crucial to keep your dog's ears clean, especially after a bath, to prevent wax buildup and infections. Cleaning their ears gently with a cotton ball or soft cloth can help keep them healthy.
Regular grooming sessions can also help strengthen the bond between you and your dog, making them feel more comfortable and relaxed in your presence.
