10 Signs Your Dog Needs a Grooming Appointment
At Kinga’s Dog Grooming in Edinburgh, we believe that a well-groomed dog is a happy and healthy one! Regular grooming isn’t just about appearance—it’s essential for your dog’s comfort and well-being. If you’re unsure whether it’s time for a professional grooming session, here are 10 signs that your pup needs a visit to Kinga’s Dog Grooming.
1. Matted or Tangled Fur
If your dog's coat is forming knots or mats, it’s time to book a grooming appointment. Matting can be painful and may even lead to skin infections. Our professional grooming service ensures your dog’s coat is smooth and healthy.
2. Overgrown Nails
Long nails can cause discomfort and even joint problems. If you hear a clicking sound when your dog walks on hard surfaces, bring them in for a nail trim at Kinga’s Dog Grooming in Edinburgh.
3. Unpleasant Odor
A bad smell coming from your dog’s coat, ears, or mouth is a sign that they need a deep clean. Our grooming services include shampooing, ear cleaning, and coat conditioning to keep your pup smelling fresh.
4. Dirty or Smelly Ears
Floppy-eared breeds, in particular, are prone to infections. If your dog’s ears look dirty, waxy, or have an odor, let us gently clean and check for any signs of infection.
5. Excessive Shedding
If your home is covered in dog hair, our de-shedding treatment can help reduce loose fur and keep your pup’s coat manageable.
6. Tear Stains or Eye Discharge
Tear stains and eye gunk can cause irritation and infections. At Kinga’s Dog Grooming, we carefully clean around your dog’s eyes to prevent discomfort and maintain hygiene.
7. Itchy or Flaky Skin
Constant scratching or dry, flaky skin may indicate allergies or irritation. Our soothing, dog-friendly shampoos and treatments help keep their skin healthy and moisturized.
8. Bad Breath or Yellowing Teeth
A healthy mouth means a healthier dog! While we provide basic dental hygiene, severe dental issues should be checked by a vet.
9. Dirty or Smelly Paws
Paws pick up dirt, bacteria, and debris during walks. Our paw cleaning and trimming service ensures your dog’s paws are clean and comfortable.
10. Your Dog Seems Uncomfortable
Excessive licking, scratching, or irritation may indicate a need for grooming. A professional groom at Kinga’s Dog Grooming will leave your pup feeling fresh and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Skipping grooming can lead to painful matting, overgrown nails, skin infections, and poor hygiene. Regular grooming keeps your dog healthy and happy.

Brush your dog regularly, wipe their paws after walks, clean their ears, and use a dog-friendly shampoo for occasional baths.
