Mental Influence That Pet Grooming May Have on Your Pet



Have you ever wondered how grooming you’re your pet may affect him mentally and emotionally? In most cases, regardless of what species is your pet, his emotional and mental health will be directly represented by the physical appearance. A clean pet that is well taken care of and maintains certain level of hygiene, will not only look good, but will reflect a healthier and emotionally stable state of mind. A dog with infected ears and long nails, or a cat with a dirty coat and full of hair knots and mats are in desperate need of grooming. These creatures will probably not be too happy about their appearance. They do not only reflect a physical condition of neglect, but also a deteriorated emotional state which is closely related to the relationship they have with their owner.

A special bond is developed every time a pet owner takes the time to care for their pet through grooming, or playing pet games. During the grooming process you are constantly stroking your pet, brushing him, cleaning his ears and trimming long nails. If you where to pay close attention to his reaction you can tell he is more at ease with the activity. This may or may not mean that he is aware of the grooming process and that he agrees to it, or it may just mean he is pleased you are spending the time with him. Try to go along with the moment, if you are about to use some kind of tools for the job, let your pet smell it first and become familiar with it. This way there won’t be any interruptions due to unpleasant surprises.

If you will be using clippers that make noise, don’t turn them on close to your pet at first, and certainly not close to his ears. Cats and dogs have a very acute sense of hearing, and may get startled by what we may consider insignificant sounds. Turn on any motorized item such as blowers and clippers away from the animal for the first time, and let it run for a couple of minutes while you stroke and appease him. Then begin to slowly bring it closer and begin to work.

In order to maintain a peaceful and supportive atmosphere the grooming process should always start with a few gentle words and a few pet games. Remember that the success of your first grooming experience will determine the ease and success of others to come. A bad first impression of what grooming is, will seal the experience in your pets mind and will remain on the lookout next time you approach him for such an ordeal, which he certainly won’t want to participate. On the other hand, a pleasant and soothing experience will put a positive signature on the experience, to the extent your pet might even look forward participating again.

Accidents do happen, such as clipping the nails a bit too close to the cuticle and letting some blood come out. In this type of situation, stop what you’re doing and provide first aid immediately. Make sure your pet is alright and show lot’s of affection as to make him understand that you gig not mean to hurt him. After a while everything should be back to normal, and you would have kept the confidence the animal has in you. If necessary, postpone the grooming activity and turn to a pet game of some sort in order to forget the situation. The grooming process is very important for your pet, but as you can see, there are mental issues to consider as well as the physical.
