Nail Care for Your Dog Grooming Albuquerque Experience
This page contains pictures and videos of pets before and after our dog grooming Albuquerque services. We also included some tutorial videos to show how to do some grooming at home.
Master Nail Filing Techniques
Filing the nails can be tricky but we have included some pro tips to help you be successful. This is an area where being fast really pays off. If you have a dog that is prone to seizures sometimes it is better to trim the nails. There is 2 main methods. The first is to go as quick as you can in the bathtub so that if they bleed it does not make a mess. Have a quik clot product nearby to stop any excess bleeding. Sometimes this is the only method especially for senior or dogs with medical conditions that could cause them too much stress. Seeking professional dog grooming Albuquerque solutions? Our specialized services ensure every pet receives personalized care and attention.

The best method is filing, however some dogs cannot tolerate the vibrations. Hence the first method is utilized. Filing the nails also takes the sharp edges off so they are less likely to scratch you and make you bleed. It is still sharp with filing but usually less sharp than trimming. Pro tip: make sure your grip is so that the nail is firmly gripped between your thumb and index fingers exposing each nail individually. As you file the nails hold your dremel tool with a 45 degree offset on either side making a soft point. The reason for this is to make the nail portion get filed first and to take small amounts of the nail at a time so as to not cut too far into the dogs quick making them bleed.

We recommend it mostly for Dogs with clean feat style. Usually on poodles. It is very difficult to get the dog to sit still and can often take a couple hours to do to get the vibrant colors especially if the nails are black. This is why we offer these tutorials and examples of what we do. It can be easy enough to do at home just usually more time consuming!
Fun with Fur Dye
Dyeing Dog fur can also be done at home although it might get a little messy. It is important to note that the hair Dye should not contain ammonia.

We often use products like Manic Panic. It is hard to make the vibrant colors that come in their containers. Watch our tutorial videos as seeing it done might be easier to see explained then reading how. You want to start out with a hair dryer, wide tooth comb, and some gloves. Apply a little at a time and dry as you go. It is like applying a small amount of hair gel at a time. A little dab’ll do you.
Start Dyeing Your Pet’s Fur Today!
Important to note that if you use any vegetable dye based products if your pet gets wet then the colors can run on clothes, furniture, or carpet. It makes for some great photos as you can see but it is always 10x harder to dye your pets hair than your own.
Your Pets will often move or lick off the dye if its in an area they can lick. The easiest areas to apply are usually head and tail. Applying on body or legs sometimes does not last as long but the tiger stripes or leopard print dyeing is always a hit!

Maintaining Healthy Ears and Eyes
Beyond nail care and fur dyeing, ensuring your pet’s ears and eyes are clean and healthy is crucial. Dogs with flappy ears, like Cocker Spaniels or Basset Hounds, are prone to ear conditions due to insufficient air circulation. Regularly inspect and gently clean their ears with a veterinarian-approved solution to prevent buildup and infections. For eye care, wipe away discharge with a damp cloth, and if tear staining occurs, consider using a tear stain remover suitable for pets.
Handling Shedding and Coat Maintenance
Managing shedding can be a challenge, especially during seasonal changes. Regular brushing not only reduces shedding but also distributes natural oils, promoting a healthy coat. Use a suitable brush for your pet’s coat type—slicker brushes for long-haired breeds and shedding blades for short-haired ones. Additionally, consider scheduling regular grooming appointments where our professionals can provide deshedding treatments to minimize shedding at home.
Skin Care and Bathing Techniques
Healthy skin is the foundation of a glossy coat. Provide a bath for your dog every 4-6 weeks using a mild, pet-specific shampoo to maintain skin pH balance. Avoid over-bathing as it can strip natural oils, leading to dry skin and coat. For dogs predisposed to skin problems, such as allergies or dermatitis, consult your veterinarian for suitable grooming products and bathing frequency recommendations.
Grooming for Senior Pets
As pets age, their grooming needs change. Senior pets may develop arthritis or mobility issues, making grooming sessions more challenging. Opt for shorter grooming sessions and provide supportive mats or non-slip surfaces for comfort. Use grooming tools with soft bristles and take extra care around sensitive areas. Routine grooming not only preserves clenliness but also promotes circulation and skin health.

In addition to basic grooming, we offer specialized services tailored to specific needs. From teeth brushing and ear cleaning to anal gland expression and paw pad moisturizing, our comprehensive grooming packages cater to every aspect of your pet’s well-being.
