With all the crazy fun of the summer, it’s easy to forget about the day to day tasks like getting your dog groomed. But having them clean cut during the summer is just as important as any other time of the year.

The folks from PetSmart stopped by to give us some tips on how to keep your furry friend looking great as the summer comes to an end.

First, make sure you know the appropriate way to keep your dog groomed during the summer. People often assume that shaving their dogs is the best way to keep them cool. But with certain breeds, fur actually keeps the dog cooler than shaving it off. Check with your groomer before shaving your dog.

Next, brushing your pet can help shedding while also checking for fleas and ticks. Brushing can also help get rid of knots in the fur that could potentially hurt your pet.

PetSmart offers many different grooming services for your dog or cat including bathing, hair cutting, help to reduce hair shedding, nail trim and ear flush. PetSmart is located at 6801 Slide Rd.
