Dog grooming services typically include a bath, coat brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning, but teeth brushing is not always included and might need to be requested separately.
- Bathing to keep your dog's skin and coat clean and healthy
- Brushing to remove loose hair and prevent matting
- Nail trimming to reduce the risk of injury and maintain proper foot health
- Ear cleaning to prevent infections
- Teeth brushing often needs to be requested individually
Teeth brushing is an important aspect of canine oral health, as it helps prevent plaque build-up and gum disease. Regular grooming ensures that your dog is comfortable, healthy, and looking their best. However, oral care can easily be overlooked during grooming sessions unless specifically included in the service. It’s worthwhile to discuss your dog's needs with your groomer to ensure comprehensive care.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do all groomers offer teeth brushing as part of their service?
Not all groomers include teeth brushing as a standard service. It's best to inquire with your specific groomer to ensure it's part of the grooming session or to request it separately.
- How often should my dog's teeth be brushed?
Ideally, brushing your dog's teeth should be done daily. Regular brushing helps prevent the build-up of plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of periodontal disease.
