If you've never been to a professional groomer, then you might have a mental picture of the process that basically involves a stranger giving your dog a bath, a quick shave they don't need, and then sending you both out the door with a lighter wallet for something that you could have done at home
0:17
Today, we're going to dispel this notion, busting the myth that professional grooming isn't worth you or your dog's time, and we're going to do it with the facts
0:26
Ticks, fleas, and yucky glands. Removing ticks is unpleasant, to say the least
0:35
And if you do it wrong, then you might end up with a tick head stuck inside
0:40
And either an expensive vet visit or an ointment regimen being required to treat your dog for the next few weeks
0:47
A professional groomer can help with both of these things. But there's a final reason as well, and it's a good one
0:54
Your dog's glands. All dogs are prone to sac disease for the simple reason that their sacs often become clogged and this can result in inflammation and even worse scenarios Professional groomers can check for blockages and express those glands if needed something you definitely wouldn want to do at home Before we move forward

I'd like to mention our today's sponsors, Calibs. Have you ever noticed your dog scratching their
1:24
body without any signs of fleas or ticks? Well, that's because your pooch has dry and itchy skin
1:31
It's a very common problem in dogs, and Caleb's have done a fantastic job launching a dog bath scrub to tackle this problem
1:40
It has oatmeal, which soothes the irritation, and coconut oil that moisturizes the skin
1:47
They also have charcoal shampoo bar for dogs that offers gentle cleansing and long-lasting freshness
1:54
And the best thing about Caleb's products is that they are 100% natural and vegan

Some dogs have more sensitive skin than others, and using normal dog brushes can be painful
2:14
and uncomfortable for them. Groomers have specialized brushes that are not only easier on a dog with sensitive skin but have bristles designed to distribute your dog natural oils throughout their fur for a shinier healthier coat
2:30
Then there is nail t, every beagle owner's nightmare. T your dog's nails is not easy, especially if you have a hyperactive pup who would twitch their paw every second
2:43
A centimeter there, and you might cut the quick, which will lead to bleeding
2:47
When your groomer trims your dog's nails, they've got the experience and the tools to ensure that it's done right every time
2:56
And if any problems do arise, they know exactly how to treat it
3:02
There's no substitute for the experience of a good groomer. A good groomer goes through, on average, at least one year of training
3:11
And after that, they typically do internship for a while. So by the time they are on their own, they have real life experience grooming just about every breed of dog
3:21
Once they have their own business, they'll groom 6-8 dogs every day
3:26
And while you can certainly watch tutorials to learn a few tricks of your own there simply no substitute for that much experience Professional groomers know where to check for bumps abrasions and blockages
3:39
that can be symptoms of potential problems with your dog's health. As they get to know your dog
3:45
you might even find that your beagle will start looking forward to their sessions
3:49
And that's where the groomer's experience is going to be noticed the most
3:54
Professional groomers are worth every penny. As you can see, there's much more to professional grooming than meets the eye
4:03
Your pro-groomer can take care of ticks, fleas, and the unseemly task of checking your dog's glands
4:10
and expressing them before any blockage can endanger your beagle's health. Like every professional, they've got the tools to do the job right
4:19
and the experience that they bring to the table is the result of training
4:23
and countless hours of actual experience with beagles and other breeds. Add in that for beagles, you only need to bring them in once every six weeks
4:34
And professional grooming is definitely something that won't break the bank. Do make sure to like this video and subscribe to our channel for more beagle care videos
