dog grooming

Pet fur maintenance

Dog grooming is the care and maintenance of a dog's appearance and hygiene—bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and haircuts.

Professional groomers offer these services, though owners often handle basic grooming at home.

Some breeds require frequent grooming; others need little beyond occasional baths.

The poodle needs grooming every six weeks.
