There are numerous physical and psychological benefits to owning a clean, healthy pet. These including lower blood pressure, reduced stress levels, improved physical fitness and an increase in overall happiness. For owners, a pet is often an extension of themselves and commonly regarded as a member of the family. Having a spot for your furry friend in bed is comforting for both of you, and who can say no to those big, adorable eyes when it’s time to switch off the lights and turn in for the night?
But what happens if your pet isn’t clean, well groomed and healthy? The truth is, your dog or cat spends the majority of their time outdoors running, climbing, chasing, sniffing and eating who knows what? Over the course of a day they are exposed to a multitude of different environments and situations that could result in them contracting unpleasant diseases or parasites who also become your bed-buddies.

Transmittable diseases and unwanted passengers include: hookworm, ringworm, roundworm, fleas, mites, pollen and staph infections. Add to this the fact that having a long haired pet can lead to excessive shedding and a subsequent build-up of fur and allergens on your blankets and you quickly realise the importance of keeping your pooch clean and healthy.
''Having a regularly groomed dog or cat helps to minimise the likelihood of your pet transferring these unwanted diseases from the outside world to your bed."
