Grooming isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s vital for your dog’s health. Especially in the UAE’s climate, proper grooming helps prevent skin issues, overheating, parasites, and discomfort. In this guide, we’ll show you how to groom your dog like a pro: from bathing and brushing to nails, ears, and coat care. We’ll also recommend grooming essentials you can stock in your store.

1. Bathing: When & How Often

• In general, bathe a dog every 4–8 weeks, depending on breed and activity.

• Use dog-formulated, pH-balanced shampoo (never human shampoo).

• In hot weather, avoid midday baths; early mornings or evenings are better.

• Rinse thoroughly to remove residue.

2. Brushing & Coat Maintenance

• Choose a brush based on coat type (slicker brush, pin brush, de-shedding tool).

• Brush regularly — short-haired dogs weekly, long-haired dogs daily or more.

• Brushing helps remove tangles, mats, and dead hair, and improves circulation.

3. Nail Clipping & Paw Care

• Trim nails every few weeks; overgrown nails cause discomfort or injury.

• If unsure, get a grinder tool or go to a professional.

• Check paw pads for cracks or foreign objects after walks, especially on hot pavement.

4. Ear Cleaning & Eye Care

• Use vet-approved ear cleaners; clean only the outer ear (don’t insert deep).

• Wipe away discharge or debris.

• For eyes, use damp cotton to gently remove tear stains or debris. Watch for redness or irritation.

5. Fleas, Ticks & Parasite Prevention

• Use flea/tick preventive treatments year-round (especially in humid months).

• Regularly check coat, skin, especially hidden spots (armpits, ears, belly).

• Consider natural repellents (vet-approved) paired with treatments.

6. Skin & Coat Issues in Hot Climates

• Heat can cause fungal or bacterial skin infections.

• Watch for rashes, hot spots, itching.

• Use medicated shampoos if recommended by vet.

• Keep your dog dry (avoid staying wet) and shaded.
