Share This Post

As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to set new goals—not just for yourself, but for your furry companion too! Proper grooming plays a huge role in your dog’s overall health and happiness. Here are some resolutions to consider for a fresh start this year:

1. Stay Consistent with Grooming Appointments

Life gets busy, but skipping grooming sessions can lead to matting, skin irritations, and even infections. Setting a consistent schedule ensures your dog’s coat, skin, and nails stay healthy. At Pet Spa Boise, we offer an easy online booking system to help you stay on track.

2. Refresh Your Dog’s Routine

If your dog seems uncomfortable or nervous during grooming, consider introducing calming techniques like Fear Free practices—something we specialize in! A stress-free experience can improve your dog’s overall grooming behavior.

3. Invest in Winter Protection

With Boise winters being harsh, protecting your dog’s paws and coat is essential. Invest in paw balms or boots to shield against icy sidewalks, and keep their coat trimmed to prevent snow matting while retaining warmth.

4. Focus on Oral Health

Healthy teeth mean a healthy dog! Resolve to make brushing your dog’s teeth a weekly (or daily) habit this year. Professional grooming can include teeth-cleaning services to make the process easier.

5. Tailor Grooming to Their Breed

Every dog has unique grooming needs based on their breed, coat type, and lifestyle. For example, double-coated breeds like Huskies benefit from regular deshedding treatments, while Poodles thrive with scheduled trims. Ask our expert groomers for a tailored grooming plan for your pup.

6. Prioritize Seasonal Grooming

Winter, spring, summer, or fall—each season presents different challenges for your dog’s coat and skin. Resolve to adjust grooming routines to match seasonal changes.
