Whether you have a short-haired dog or a long-haired dog, there are a few basic things to keep in mind when caring for a dog at home. Here are basic dog care tips of all breeds so you can save money and time by learning how to care for your dog at home. 

Ideally, when shaving, trimming nails, brushing teeth and gums, use a non-slip mat and place your dog on a table so you don't tense up and bend over, etc. You do not need to limit the dog too much.

The grooming kit should include scissors or shears, a comb, and a brush.

Bathing for dogs of all breeds – 

You need a bathtub that is appropriate for your dog's size. Fill with warm water. If your dog doesn't like putting him in the water, have a bucket of warm water ready.

Now get a non-slip mat, plastic jug, towel, or hairdryer (depending on the dog's coat) and dog shampoo. There are many types of shampoos on the market. For example, if your dog has fleas and ticks, use shampoo to combat them. If your dog has skin problems, get a shampoo that can relieve it.

Rinse time

Now, first, rinse and dry your dog's head with a towel before rinsing the entire body. The total rinse time should be approximately 3 minutes rinsing for short-haired dogs and 5 minutes rinsing for long-haired dogs.
