When most people think of grooming their pets, they picture a quick bath and a brush. But dog and cat grooming is so much more than a spa day—it’s an important part of keeping your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable.

At Sam’s Cats and Dogs in Redmond, Washington, we’re passionate about helping pet parents understand the real benefits of regular grooming and how to make it part of your pet’s wellness routine.

Why Grooming Matters for Your Pet’s Health

Regular grooming does more than keep your pet looking good—it plays a key role in preventing health problems.

Coat Health & Comfort

Brushing removes dirt, dead hair, and tangles while distributing natural oils, which keeps the coat shiny and skin healthy. For cats, it can even reduce hairballs.

Nail Trimming

Overgrown nails can cause discomfort, joint problems, or even injury. Regular trims keep your pet’s posture and gait healthy.

Ear Cleaning

A quick ear check can catch signs of infection early. Cleaning removes wax and debris that can lead to ear issues, especially in floppy-eared breeds.

Professional Grooming vs. DIY Grooming at Home

Both professional and at-home grooming have their place. Here’s how they compare:

Professional Grooming for Pets

  • Deep cleaning baths with specialized shampoos
  • Full brush-outs and deshedding treatments
  • Nail trimming and grinding for smooth edges
  • Ear cleaning and inspection
  • Sanitary trims and breed-specific cuts
  • Professional handling for pets that may be anxious or squirmy

DIY Grooming at Home

  • Quick brush-outs between professional sessions
  • Spot cleaning muddy paws
  • Light nail touch-ups (if you’re comfortable)
  • Checking for fleas, ticks, or skin changes

The best grooming plan often combines professional grooming for a thorough clean with at-home care to maintain results in between visits.
