Though it’s not always pleasant, grooming your cat or dog is essential to good pet parenting. Regularly scheduled pampering sessions (either at home or with a professional) help keep your pet’s skin, coat, nails and teeth healthy while preventing any unpleasant visits to the vet for matted hair or itchy skin.
