Frieda - The Leonberger (Curly Coated)

Meet Frieda the Leonberger. Frieda had really bad matts on her backend (bloomers) which had to be shaved out. She also had to have a Tummy Tunnel (shaving all the underbelly) as this was matted too.
This is Frieda having her bath before grooming
Frieda also had her coat thinned out by clipping using an attachment blade which left the coat still fluffly for the winter but makes it a little bit to make it easier to brush through for the owners
All the undercoat was taken out from her chest and it was thinned out too with the clippers and thinning sheers

WHY SHOULD I GET MY DOG GROOMED

Healthy skin, hair, and nails are what define a well-groomed dog. Dog grooming is the practice of caring for the appearance of a canine for personal or showing purposes. Dog-grooming rituals include washing, hair clipping and cutting, nail clipping  and hair styling . Grooming is important for your pet and is aesthetically pleasing to owners. It helps cut down on shedding and smelling, but will also lead to healthy skin, hair, and nails for your dog. Grooming is also a great way to cut down on allergies and infections for both pets and their owners.
