Bathing
Handsome Hounds offers a dog bathing package. This is great for dogs who don�t need clipping and styling but still shed fur.
Bathing every 6-8 weeks maintains a healthy shiny looking coat, keeping your dog clean and comfortable. Routine brushing/grooming will help distribute the natural oils throughout the coat, avoiding matting or hair clumping problems, at the same time as removing dirt, burs and other outdoor debris. Regular grooming will also cut down on your dogs hair shredding at home.
We will also automatically check for dog for unwelcome visitors such as fleas and ticks!

Nail Clipping. As a general rule, you should have your dogs nails trimmed and checked once a month. If your dog walks a lot, or is outside on concrete.. They will naturally wear them down, so they won't need to be trimmed as often.
If your dog is older and doesn't walk as much they will need to be trimmed more often. But, normally once a month is good.
Pictured is an example of a dogs nails that have grown to long, it's paws can get sore from the constant pressure of walking on overgrown nails, this dog also runs a high risk of getting its nails caught on something and possibly ripping them, Broken nails are very painful..
A dogs nails should not touch the ground, so if you hear clicking on hard floors, it's time to trim.
Most dogs don't like getting their nails trimmed, so proper introduction from an early age is extremely important..
Matted Dogs MATTED DOGS � WHAT EVERY OWNER NEEDS TO KNOW�.
Matting is densely tangled clumps of fur in a dogs coat. Sometimes matts can be combed out, but � if left too long is impossible.
Severe matting can be extremely painful to the dog during brushing.
Dense matting can deny regular air circulation. Skin denied fresh air and stimulation from regular brushing can become unhealthy. Skin can turn dark pink/red and open sores can form emitting foul odors, sometimes matts and their consequences can be completely hidden from view.
Some severely matted dogs may require the attention of a vet..
Shaving off a matted coat is a delicate and slow process requiring patience, experience and expertise.
PREVENTION is easy, dead loose hairs should be removed through regular brushing.
Grooming should be done every 4-6 weeks, after 8-10 weeks a coat may become to dirty and matted to maintain ( depending upon breed and dogs lifestyle).
