Additionally brushing helps remove dead hairs before they accumulate which reduces shedding around your home; not only does this keep it cleaner but it also makes those pesky allergy symptoms easier to manage! Furthermore regular nail trims help prevent painful ingrown nails that can cause discomfort while walking; not only is this beneficial physically but it also makes it easier for dogs to move around without pain thus improving their overall mental wellbeing.
