Dog grooming is the term used for both the grooming and hygienic maintenance of a pet dog. A dog grooming professional is someone who makes their living grooming pets for a fee. There are many different styles of grooming dogs that one can choose from. Some types of grooming include grooming to relieve the itching on the dog, and others are more cosmetic and are geared towards increasing the grooming dog's confidence. Grooming is often combined with bathing in order to remove unwanted hair. There are also some people who will take a professional grooming course in order to improve their knowledge of how to properly groom their pets.

The first step to grooming your dog is to find a place where the pet can have a place to lay down to relax. This can be a dog bed or a bedding area. Once the pet has a place to relax, it should be checked to ensure that it is clean and in good repair. After cleaning the pet should be washed so that it is completely clean. It should also be dried thoroughly before being bathed. The owner may want to wash his or her face as part of the grooming process. Some people will use a hand towel for this purpose.

After the pet is cleaned, it should be put away in a secure place until the pet grooming professional arrives. If the pet is large it may be necessary for the pet to have someone hold the pet while the pet grooming professional does the grooming. The grooming pet should not be handled while it is wet or when it is very dirty. It may also be helpful if a pet grooming professional comes along for the pet grooming to get a general idea of how much work should be done. After this they should be able to take the pet home after a bath and brush and coat, or use the brush and hose on the fur to get it ready for a bath.
