PAW-SITIVE VIBES: THE IMPACT OF GROOMING ON YOUR DOG'S MOOD

Jacob Munro • October 17, 2024

If you are a pet parent, you must be well aware of the importance of grooming to make your furry companion look their best. However, were you aware of the fact that it can have a significant impact on your dog's mood and behavior? In addition to making them

look cute, regular grooming does wonders for their mental well-being.


Just like humans feel relaxed after a spa day or a refreshing shower, well-groomed dogs experience similar "paw-sitive vibes". Let's explore why and how in detail and understand the importance of dog grooming Aurora.

MEET ROLO: A GROOMING SUCCESS STORY


Take Rolo, a Golden Retriever from Aurora and a "doggy blues" victim. He wasn't as playful as normal and seemed to be itching more than usual. His owners tried everything to improve his mood, including giving him extra walks and special toys, but nothing worked until they decided to schedule a grooming appointment at their neighboring Paws In The Bath.


After his session, Rolo returned home looking like a brand-new puppy. His coat was silky and smooth and there was a bounce in his leap, never seen before. It wasn't just the new haircut-- the grooming experience made him feel better. He was then less anxious, and much more playful and comfortable.

Turned out, that Rolo's missing piece to his happy puzzle was a relaxing grooming session. This is not just about Rolo many other dogs display a similar behavior after a proper grooming session.


WHY GROOMING AFFECTS YOUR DOG’S MOOD

Precisely how grooming affects your dog's mood and behavior must be a question on our mind. There are several important ones as follows:


  • PHYSICAL COMFORT: All that can be uncomfortable and painful, like debris, tangled, and extra hair is removed during grooming. This makes your dogs feel physically better, reflecting in their attitude.

  • SKIN AND COAT HEALTH: Skin health correlates to a clean and well-maintained cost. Dogs with dry, matted, or irritated skin are more prone to get agitated; regular grooming keeps their skin clean and itch-free.

  • BONDING TIME: Spending time during dog grooming sessions helps develop the bond that you two share. Even if you leave your dog with expert groomers, your pet will feel safe because of the trust that you have built through contact.

  • RELAXATION AND ROUTINE: Routine grooming helps create a comforting pattern in their lives. From brushing to nail cutting, or even a little massage can be relaxing for them.
