The top five dog-grooming tips from the pros

Australia saw a 20% increase in dog ownership during the pandemic, but the number of animal industry professionals hasn’t increased in step.

The problem is compounded by the type of dogs Australians are buying. Low-shedding dogs such as bichons, poodles and poodle crossbreeds have higher grooming needs than many other breeds. Without regular sessions their hair risks matting, a painful and potentially dangerous scenario for a dog. So how do you brush out a mat? Clean your dog's ears? And trim their nails (without causing bleeding)? Guardian Australia spoke to Kim Ngo at Pepper and Murphy's dog-grooming salon in Marrickville, Sydney and asked her for her top tips to maintain dog health
