DIY Dog Grooming at Home: How to Wash, Trim, Clean & Clip Your Dog

Do you want to learn how to safely and effectively bathe your dog at home? Do you want to save money on expensive groomers? Do you simply want to learn how to brush your dog’s fur?

If you are new to owning a dog, then you may find yourself intimidated by the idea of grooming your own dog. While it may seem like a complicated and tedious process, there’s nothing to be afraid of. You just need to learn all of the steps involved and develop a process that works for you and your dog. Then your grooming sessions will start to go smoothly.

In my book, DIY Dog Grooming at Home: How to Wash, Trim, Clean & Clip Your Dog, I will show you how to wash, dry, and trim your dog’s fur and clip your dog’s nails. I will also show you how to safely clean around your dog’s more sensitive areas, such as their eyes, ears, tail, and snout.

Why would I be an authority on this subject? Why take my word for it? Well, I have worked with animals my entire life. I have always had dogs while growing up in rural North Carolina. Where I lived as a kid, the “groomer” was my next-door neighbor who taught me how to bathe my dogs. When I grew up, I had a job as an animal care attendant for the local vet. At that time, the local vet would make house calls but also had animals for boarding and overnight treatments and observation. I worked for that vet until he retired a few years ago.

While I may not have a degree, I have a lifetime of hands-on experience. I will never forget the first time I had to bathe a skittish cat! I swore after that I would focus on dogs because I’m more of a dog person anyway.

In this book, I’m going to teach you how to properly groom your dog at home, and you’ll realize that the process isn’t as complicated as you may have originally thought. But first, let’s look at why you should even groom your dog in the first place.

Grooming your dog at home isn’t as difficult as it may seem and you shouldn’t feel intimidated to avoid doing it on your own. With some research and advice from professionals, you’ll be able to take care of all your dog’s grooming needs from the comfort of your own home.
