When well taken care of, animals do feel great. The best dog grooming you can provide to your four-legged friend depends on several factors: your budget, the breed, the size of the dog and its personality. Medium-haired dogs require weekly brushing only, while short-haired breeds raise almost no problems in terms of brushing.
