Here's why:
* Nail trimming is a separate skill: While it's essential for a dog's health and comfort, it requires specific knowledge and techniques that are different from traditional grooming like brushing, bathing, and fur trimming.
* Safety and expertise: Incorrect nail trimming can be painful and even dangerous for your dog. It's best left to a professional groomer or veterinarian who has the training and tools to do it safely.
* Frequency: Nail trimming needs to be done regularly, often more frequently than full grooming sessions.
Here's a breakdown:
* Dog grooming: Focuses on maintaining the dog's coat, skin, and overall appearance. It includes brushing, bathing, fur trimming, and sometimes ear cleaning.
* Nail trimming: Focuses on keeping nails at a healthy length to prevent discomfort, injury, and overgrowth. It's often done separately by a groomer, veterinarian, or even a pet owner with proper training.
However, some groomers might offer nail trimming as an additional service.
