The Dog Parent's Guide to Kind Grooming: Coat Care, Comfort, and Confidence Between Grooms (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798996696147)

The Dog Parent's Guide to Kind Grooming: Coat Care, Comfort, and Confidence Between Appointments is a practical, compassionate guide for dog parents who want to better understand their dog's grooming needs and support their comfort at home.

Written by professional dog groomer Brandy Karlsen, this book explains coat care, brushing, mat prevention, nail care, bathing, drying, basic hygiene, grooming safety, and how to recognize when a dog needs professional or veterinary help. With a kind, realistic approach, it helps parents build confidence, understand their dog's body language, and work more thoughtfully with their professional groomer.

This guide is not about doing everything yourself. This is not a guide on giving a full haircut at home. It is about learning what matters, knowing when to pause, and creating calmer, safer grooming experiences for the dog in front of you. Designed for everyday dog parents, new puppy owners, senior dog caregivers, and anyone who wants grooming to feel less confusing and more humane.
