QuestionI like to give my dog baths at home because he gets extremely frightened when I leave him at the groomers. This usually works fine, because they do ear cleaning, tooth brushing and toenail clipping while you wait, so I continue to have those professionally done. My problem is that he is some kind of mix like Papillon (shelter dog--we don't know what he is) that has hair that grows between the pads of his feet. Is there any way to safely do this at home?
AnswerYou can choose 2 variants:
1. try to inure your dog to go to a groomer.
2. Learn to groom it at home
If you decide to groom it at home, you should go to a groomer, which can show you everything how to cut hair between pads, how to clean ears, how to cut toenail, how to brush tooth and more. I cannot tell everything in written, cause it's very hard to describe everything...
Good luck,
Amanda.
