Pet Grooming Guide BD: Bathing, Nail, Ear, Tick & Flea Prevention

Regular grooming keeps your pet healthy and comfortable. In Bangladesh's humid climate, grooming is especially important to prevent skin issues, parasites, and infections. ## Bathing Your Dog Bathe dogs every 2–4 weeks, or when dirty. Use pet-specific shampoo—human shampoo can irritate skin. Rinse thoroughly. Dry with a towel or blow dryer on low. Over-bathing strips natural oils. ## Bathing Your Cat Most cats groom themselves. Bath only when necessary (e.g., they get into something). Use cat shampoo. Work quickly and keep them warm. Many cats dislike water—consider waterless shampoo for routine cleaning. ## Nail Trimming Trim nails every 2–4 weeks. Use guillotine or scissor-style clippers. Avoid the quick (pink part)—it bleeds if cut. If unsure, ask a vet or groomer to demonstrate. Long nails cause discomfort and posture issues. ## Ear Care Check ears weekly. Clean with vet-approved ear cleaner and cotton. Never insert objects deep into the ear. Signs of infection: odor, discharge, scratching. Seek vet care if concerned. ## Tick and Flea Prevention In Bangladesh, ticks and fleas are common. Use monthly topical or oral preventives. Check your pet after walks. Remove ticks with tweezers, grasping close to the skin. Consult your vet for the best product. ## Brushing Brush dogs and cats regularly to remove loose fur and prevent mats. Long-haired breeds need daily brushing. Short-haired pets benefit from weekly brushing. ## Dental Care Dental chews and brushing help prevent tartar. Start young. Use pet toothpaste—never human. Annual dental check-ups are recommended. ## Grooming Supplies to Buy City Plus Pet Shop stocks shampoo, brushes, nail clippers, tick combs, and more. We deliver across Bangladesh.
