  You already know that grooming makes your dog look good and smell good. But grooming is also one of the most important things you can do to maintain your dog's good health. Regular grooming is a bit like a "lite" version of a veterinary exam. That makes it extra important, not just for keeping your puppy pretty but also the best possible way for you to establish what's physically "normal" for your dog. Every time you put your comb to his coat, you have the chance to assess the dog's ongoing health and detect any sudden changes in skin, coat, eyes, ears, nose, rear, paws, nails, joints, or generalized pain. If anything changes, you'll be the first to notice.
  Veterinarians have often told me their clients were the first ones to spot the signs of serious health problems during a grooming session. Sometimes, the very first sign of the health problem is as subtle as dried-out coat and flaky skin. If your groomer tells you about a lump, a sore spot, a bare patch, or anything else unusual, let your veterinarian know right away. It may not be the most pleasant groomer's chore, but gazing into your dog's eyes - and ears, nose, mouth, and rear end - is also an important part of grooming health check. Problems often show up in these sensitive areas. Yeasty ear infections, gum disease, tooth decay, dry eye, impacted anal glands, even worms, are just some of the conditions that can be spotted visually. During the grooming session your groomer not only brushes the top lair of hair, she does it down at the roots. Combing all the way down to the skin can reveal hot spots and skin infections hidden under mats and tangles - you might find evidence of fleas and attached ticks.
  You are the expert on your dog because you see him every day. Groom him regularly, so that if your dog does develop a health problem, you'll catch it and can have it treated-stat!
