Although most think dog grooming is all about the appearance of their adoring pet or show dog, the real importance to grooming is hygienic care. There are many other reasons for keeping your pet groomed. Bread, age and health of the dog play an important role. For example, long-haired breads like poodles require daily grooming and brushing to ensure their health and well-being. Some breads do not require daily brushing or grooming, like vizsla which are short-haired dogs.

Shedding is another reason for regular grooming. When a dog sheds their old hair, new hair takes its place. The vizsla is one of many short-haired dogs that have excessive shedding and regular but not daily bathing is a must. The poodle does not shed and instead requires daily brushing regular trimming. It is very important to keep the skin and coat of all dog breads healthy and clean. There are many health issue that can arise from poor care of a dogs skin and coat, such as thrush, scratches, and many other skin problems. Keeping your dog groomed regularly can also help you monitor its health. While bathing and brushing you can check for cuts, heat on the skin, and swelling. Even changes in a dogs temperament can be found by keeping watch while grooming daily. For example, depression which is common, can indicate an illness. Also, grooming your dog daily, like brushing, is one way to bond with your pet. Having a special relationship with him can make all the steps to grooming a lot less painful for dog and owner.
