Prevents matting
Brushing removes dirt and debris from your dog’s coat, as well as detangling any smaller knots which could have developed into serious matts. And we all know what thick matts result in -  the dreaded "shave down". I'm sure all you long haired dog owners  (cavashon, cavapoo, cavashons, bichon frise etc.) know the importance of using a brush on a regular basis.

Reduces shedding and improves their coat

Brushing your dog strips out the dead hairs in their coat and reduces the amount of fur that ends up in your carpet, your car or stuck to the sofa. Regular brushing also distributes natural oils for a glossy shiny coat, it stimulates the surface of the skin, gets rid of dead and dry skin, and helps you become familiar with your dog's body.

Helps you spot anything unusual 

Brushing allows you to spot anything unusual such as bumps, lumps or parasites. Regular brushing helps you get to know how your dog’s skin usually looks so that you can notice if anything changes. Some bumps are harmless, but if you spot one that isn’t, early detection can mean the difference between life and death.

Keeps your dog and your house clean

Brushing your dog’s coat gets rid of any dirt they’ve picked up outside. Of course if your dog decided to sit in the muddiest of mud pits or roll in something dodgy, no brush will help. But for the majority of situations a good brush out is great and also helps to keep your dog’s coat clean between baths and trips to the groomer. 

Bonding time

Making time in your daily routine can be a challenge but setting time aside for regular brushing is a great way to make sure you’re spending some quality time with your dog. Five minutes of brushing your dog while he’s curled up on your lap on the sofa can be a pleasant experience for both you and your dog.

And if you just simply cannot find time in your day, call your groomer and arrange a bath and brush out. We'll remove any tangles before they develop in serious mats and keep your dog nice and fluffy.
