Dog Safety
Getting your four-legged best friend to a real groomer can truly be a difficult task, especially if you have no experience with this type of thing. However, for the best and most beneficial results, it’s important to hire a professional dog groomer. When you decide to do it yourself, you’re sure to make mistakes. While these are all fixable mistakes, they can lead to more serious injuries and health issues. In fact, several do-it-yourself groomers have become injured while trimming their dogs. In some cases, a few owners even lost a finger or two. Here are the top serious dangers of DIY dog grooming:
Wounds
If you aren’t properly trained and have no experience with this type of work, you may end up cutting off part of your dog’s fur. This can also happen if you trim your dog incorrectly or apply the clippers too close to the skin with the risk of irritating the surface. To totally prevent this from happening, you’ll have to trim your pet correctly. Removing excess fur from your dog is essential for preventing skin allergies and other skin conditions. However, if you cut off way too much fur, you may cause your dog to develop an allergy.
NECK INJURY
If you trim your dog’s fur incorrectly, you may cause your pet to suffer from neck injuries. When you trim your dog’s fur, you need to make sure you’re using the right size and length of blades. Also, you should never trim your dog’s fur without first taking them to the vet to check if their fur needs any special care.
