Celebrity dog groomer Jorge Bendersky shares his DIY grooming tips to keep your dog healthy and looking his best

Believe it or not, your dog’s coat is the best window into their overall health and wellbeing. It’s appearance, texture and thickness—all are tell-tale signs of how well they’re eating and sleeping, if they have health problems, allergies, parasites and more. That’s why it pays to take good care of your dog’s coat, starting with routine grooming.

While a trip to the groomer is a great place to start, there are some fast and easy things you can do at home between those visits to the professional to help keep your dog looking and smelling their best.

    Learning more about your dog is going to make you a better dog parent, and the tail wag of approval will make it all worth it.
