As most pet owners know firsthand, either your pet loves water and bathing OR hates anything close to a bath and rewards you by fighting tooth and nail! Thankfully, you can teach your pet to love baths! This post will give you 8 simple tips to help your pet let down his guard and relax during bath time!
Attitude is Everything!Our pets take their cues from us. If you are stressed, anxious and rushed during bath time, your dog or cat is going to pick up on those vibes and react accordingly, usually negatively. Even your body language can communicate anxiety or stress to your pet with the same unwanted results!
Always make bath time – or any grooming – positive and FUN! Only groom or bathe pets when you have plenty of time and you feel calm and happy. When you are relaxed, your dog or cat will also relax and you can teach them to love baths!
associate pleasure, fun and relaxation when it comes to their baths.
If your pet is still not a willing participant or you don’t have the patience or time to make or teach your pet to love baths, consider mobile pet grooming! Pets often act differently (better) with people other than their owners when it comes to baths, cutting nails and overall grooming.
Experienced groomers have extensive training and experience with all kinds of pets, breeds, attitudes and behaviors and can make sure your pet is comfortable and relaxed. Mobile grooming is also convenient and safe, especially with COVID-19, with the groomers coming to you with properly outfitted vans. Make sure the mobile groomer you choose has experience with your type of pet, breed and size.

Just like in humans, the gut plays a vital role in a dog’s overall health and well-being. In this article, we will discuss probiotics for dogs, what they are, how they work, and the benefits they provide. We will also talk about the signs that your dog might need probiotics, how to choose the right one, and how to introduce it to their diet.
There are numerous benefits of probiotics and prebiotics for dogs, including improved digestive health, better immune system function, reduced allergy symptoms, improved skin and coat condition, reduced gas and bad breath, improved brain function, reduced risk of disease, improved nutrient absorption, reduced stress and anxiety, and improved overall health and wellbeing. Let’s take a closer look at each of these benefits.
Yeast covers the skin of humans and dogs as part of the normal flora and it’s also inside your dog’s body, mostly in the gut and normally in a healthy state of balance.
However, things can get out of balance quickly when your dog sees the immune system is under stress and the yeast becomes overgrown and out of control spreading throughout the body and over the skin as fungus. Welcome to the ugly world of yeast infections.
Did you know that probiotics can benefit your dog’s health? Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live in the gut and help to promote health and prevent disease.
Dog dental sticks are becoming increasingly popular as a way to keep dogs’ teeth clean and healthy. This is because they provide an easy and effective way for owners to help maintain their pet’s oral hygiene.
