Bridget's Bath Brush Beyond
September 30 at 3:30 PM ·
Life is so busy and hectic these days; who has time to brush the dog? It’s understandable to feel that way, but once you are aware of all the benefits of brushing your dog, you’ll make the time. After all, you would do anything for your dog to have the best possible life, right? If you have a puppy or a dog who hates to be brushed, you may need to start off slow, with just a few minutes of brushing followed by a special treat that they only get after being brushed. With that being said, here are the top 7 benefits of brushing your dog.
#1 – It can be a bonding time
If your dog enjoys, or at least tolerates, brushing, then the time you spend can be a great bonding time. The routine of it can be soothing to both you and your dog and a way for you to de-stress after a rough day.
#2 – Brushing helps distribute the natural oils in your dog’s coat
Dogs’ coats contain natural oils, but since dogs don’t groom themselves as obsessively as cats do, they need a little help spreading those natural oils around. It will help them looks shiny and fabulous and prevent any greasy buildup.
#3 – It helps to prevent painful mats
If you’ve ever had somebody pull your hair, you know how painful it can be. Now imagine that same sharp sensation over your entire body and you’ll have an idea of how miserable a matted dog must be. Not only are mats painful, but they can hide and even cause skin problems like wounds and infections. Nothing says “I neglect my dog” more than hair that needs to be shaved off in one piece.
#4 – Brushing allows you to spot anything unusual, such as bumps or parasites
Brushing your dog regularly helps you get to know how your dog’s skin usually looks so that you can notice anything different. Some bumps are harmless, but if you spot one that isn’t, early detection can mean the difference between life and death.
#5 – It reduces shedding
The more hair you can get off of your dog with a brush, the less hair will be floating around your house, on the furniture, and all over your clothes.
#6 – Brushing helps your dog look good
Let’s face it – a well-brushed dog looks better, happier, and healthier than one that’s not. Letting your dog’s hair become unruly screams at the world that you don’t have enough time or love for your dog – even if that’s not true.
#7 – It helps your dog stay comfortable
Not only do mats hurt, but trapped undercoat can cause your dog to overheat
