Dog Grooming Stuart FL

What Makes Stuart Dogs Love Bonjour’s Dog Wash?

All of us living here in Stuart, FL love and adore our four-legged best friends. We want to spoil our dogs by giving them the best food, toys, and trips to the dog parks in Stuart. On the other hand, while we may not always think of dog washing as a way to spoil them, it is a vital part of caring for them. Bathing our dogs on a regular basis not only eliminates dirt from their coats and makes them smell nice, but it also helps to keep their skin healthy. While taking them to the groomer is important, we must also keep them clean in between appointments. This is why it is critical to know where to go for the best dog grooming in Stuart, FL.

Why Is Washing Our Own Dogs A Great Idea?

Going to the groomer can be stressful for our dogs because they are surrounded by unknown people and animals. To alleviate some of the stress of pet grooming, we can wash our dogs at a do-it-yourself dog wash. This helps keep our dog calm because our dog knows and trusts us. In addition, going to Bonjour’s dog wash reduces our dog's anxiety by offering several calming lavender-scented products we can use. Finally, Bonjour offers us a wide range of wash options, ensuring that we are always able to get our best friends sparkling clean.

Dog Groomers Can Be Expensive, Maintenance Can Help

While going to the dog groomer may be beneficial to our dogs, it is frequently rather expensive. If we're looking for the cheapest dog groomer options in Stuart, FL, a self-service dog wash like the one at Bonjour is an excellent choice. We can use a dog wash station at Bonjour's dog wash which provides us with a number of options for cleaning our canines. Furthermore, after we have washed our dogs, we can use a pet vacuum to make sure their fur is dry and fluffy. By bringing our dog to Bonjour, we can reduce our dog's overall grooming costs.

How Often Should We Wash Our Dog?

The answer is not as cut and dry as you might expect. It turns out the frequency with which we should wash our dog is determined by three main factors, our dog's lifestyle, our dog's coat type, and whether or not our dog has any skin conditions.

Lifestyle

The major factor in determining how frequently we should bathe our dogs is how active they are. Less active dogs with short coats may need a bath every two to three months. On the other hand, we should bathe active dogs at least once every two weeks. Furthermore, if our dogs enjoy swimming at the beach, rolling around in mud, or any other activity that causes them to become noticeably dirty, we should wash them after each activity, even if we have just bathed them.

Coat Type

We can bathe thick and double-coated breeds, like Huskies, every one to three months. These dogs are prone to shedding, and when a dog sheds, its coat naturally rids itself of dead skin cells and bacteria.

We should bathe hairless dogs and breeds with oily coats, such as Labrador Retrievers and Basset Hounds, about once a week. This keeps their skin from collecting bacteria, pollutants, and toxins that are naturally expelled when a furry dog sheds. If hairless dogs are bathed infrequently, they are prone to pore blockages and skin issues such as spots and blackheads.

Skin Conditions

It is also crucial to remember that some dogs have skin disorders or end up with regular skin infections that need a veterinarian-prescribed special shampoo. A dog with a moderate skin infection who has been prescribed a medicinal shampoo may require bathing twice a week for two to three weeks, depending on the problem. How often we use medicated shampoo on our dog depends on our dog's skin condition, the product we use, and the veterinarian's suggestion.

When Is Flea Treatment Needed?

Flea and tick preventatives are especially vital in the warmer months to keep our pets free of bites and infestations, but in order to keep our dogs safe they should be used all year long. Most preventative treatments, both topical and oral, must be taken on a monthly basis to be effective. When we use a dog wash, we can use the flea and tick treatments that are provided. Keep in mind that fleas and ticks are more than simply annoyances; they are known to transmit a number of diseases that can make our dogs ill.
