The real power of pet grooming

Why good grooming keeps pets healthier, happier and closer to us.

By Dr Carra Walter, owner of Hillcrest Veterinary Hospital, KwaZulu-Natal

When it comes to pet care, I always stress that regular grooming is far more important than just keeping our animals looking their best. In my experience as a veterinarian, grooming is a cornerstone of overall health and wellbeing. Brushing, bathing and maintaining basic hygiene help keep a pet comfortable, enable us to spot health problems early and even strengthen the bond we share with our pets.
