I dog sat for about almost two years where I had to dog sit, walk the dog, bring him to groomers, and to the dog park. I have two dogs of my own, one of which is very high maintenance so I have experience with more difficult dog breeds.

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.
