Things that helps a dog shed less are regular brushing and grooming, feeding the dog a healthy diet, giving the dog a fatty acid supplement, bathing your dog regularly.
Some dog foods are made with ingredients to help support a healthy dog coat and to help prevent as much shedding.
Although dogs will shed no matter what but doing some things can help them shed less.
Getting the dog professionally groomed regularly can keep the dogs coat healthy and keep them from shedding as much as they would otherwise.
Dog Grooming costs between $30.00 to $100.00 but sometimes it can be $150.00 depending on the dog and the dog groomer.
It's recommended that a dog should be groomed every 4 to 6 weeks or at least every few months or so depending on the dog.
Some dogs need grooming more often than others so it can vary.
Dog groomers recommend brushing at least 1-3 times a week and bathing at least every 1-2 months.
Any dog grooming should mostly be light trims around the face, ears, paws, and sanitary areas every 4-6 weeks.
And typically, wire-haired dogs should not be shaved down as their coat may grow back softer and a different color.
A Shih Tzu should be groomed every 6 weeks or even once per month.
A Shih Tzus hair grows quickly, and should be trimmed every 4-6 weeks, so you (and maybe your groomer) can try out different looks and lengths for your pet.
If your dog groomer has done a good job then you should tip the dog groomer if you want too.
There's no requirement to tip a dog groomer like some waitresses or waiters you're required too.
However if you can afford to tip the dog groomer who did the job and if they are working for a dog grooming company and are working based on salaries from the employer then tipping the dog groomer is a good idea.
You should tip the dog groomer at least 15 percent of the price or even 10 percent.
Even a small tip goes a long way to help the dog groomer who did the job.
How Much Do You Tip Dog Groomers?
Tipping can be tricky, but when you're given a service, you should always reward it with a little bit of cash.
15% is a good place to start.
If someone did an okay job, as in they didn't go above and beyond but you're satisfied with their service, a 15% tip is reasonable.
