Three ways to keep your pooch looking great without a trip to the grooming salon
YOU can spend a small fortune pampering your dog at a pet-grooming salon.
Some owners fork out thousands for this but you can keep your pooch looking great for a whole lot less money.
Here's how . . .
ALWAYS BRUSHING: If your pet has longer hair, you should regularly brush its coat, according to Megan Roberts, manager and head groomer at London dog salon Mon Joli Chien, which offers pups luxury facials and paw-cures among its services.
She says: 'This is the most effective way to manage shedding, prevent painful matting and distribute those essential natural oils that keep their coat gleaming.'
Make sure you choose the right brush for your dog's coat type. You can choose from a slicker brush, pin brush or rake.
Just a few minutes of brushing can make a world of difference.
CLEAN UP: When your four-legged friend ends up mucky, you can get them squeaky-clean without pricey products.
Megan says: 'Skip the expensive wipes and sprays and opt for a warm, damp washcloth for quick clean-ups.
'Coconut oil isn't just for cooking, it's a fantastic paw balm and a safe, effective moisturiser for their coat and skin.
'Repurpose an old comb for gentle de- tangling, and use a soft toothbrush to keep those teeth in tip-top shape.'
NAILED IT: You should make sure your dog's claws are kept trim or they can cause discomfort and other issues.
I was stunned when I got my dog back from the groomer - I think he might have been switched in the shop
Invest in a good pair of nail-clippers and you can do it yourself at home, advises Megan.
You can ask a vet or dog groomer for a demonstration or even look on YouTube for an online tutorial. Trimming hair at home is very tricky.
If you choose to try it yourself, Megan says: 'Take your time, use blunt-nosed scissors or clippers with appropriate guards, and prioritise safety above all else.'

Myleene Klass stuns in polka dot bikini as she soaks up the sun on holiday in Italy
MYLEENE Klass spots an opportunity to give her followers a treat as she poses in a polka dot bikini on holiday. The radio host, 47, posted snaps from her break in Italy against a background track of The Beach Boys' Good Vibrations. 3 3 3 Her cossie and matching bandana were from her latest collection with Freemans, who she is a brand ambassador for. Earlier this year Myleene revealed what really gets her in the mood during an appearance on Loose Women. Referencing Brooke Shields ' autobiography, in which she details her thoughts on sex as a 59-year-old woman, Jane Moore put the same question to her fellow panelists. Myleene, who shares five-year-old daughter Ava with her husband Graham Quinn, revealed what gets her turned on now she's a busy mum. The model explained that when it comes to getting in the mood for women, it's a' slow burn'. "I think all these ideas of tequila and setting the mood and music, it's not about those five minutes, it's about the whole day," she said. "It's about the cup of tea, it's about kindness, put a shelf up and things are going to look way more promising for the evening." Myleene went on to say that being proactive about tasks in the home and looking after your partner and family is her idea of "foreplay." "It's not just what goes on in the bedroom, it's actually what goes on in your relationship." And while she acknowledged that society doesn't find this idea as "enticing," she said that putting time and effort into a relationship is the biggest turn on.
