Essential winter grooming tips for pets

By Anujj Trehaan

1

Winter coat maintenance

Brush your pet frequently during winter to maintain a healthy coat, using a slicker brush and wide-tooth comb for long-haired dogs, and a rubber brush for short-haired ones. 

2

Gentle bathing routine

Bathe them gently every four to six weeks to remove grime and salt residues, ensuring thorough drying afterward. 

3

Paw protection

Protect their paws from icy sidewalks and de-icing salts by wiping them with a damp cloth and applying paw balm after walks. 

4

Trimming their nails

Trim overgrown nails regularly to prevent painful cracking and maintain a comfortable gait. 

5

Ear cleaning essentials

Clean their ears with a vet-approved solution to avoid infections caused by winter's dry air. 

6

Warmth and comfort

Provide additional warmth with a sweater or coat for walks, and a plush bed or blanket indoors for cozy relaxation.
