Taking care of the basic health and grooming needs of your pet can be expensive if taken to a professional, but most of the things a professional does you can do yourself. For this example we're using the same type of dog that I have, a German Shepherd Dog.
It's important to remember that most unique breeds will have very different grooming and health requirements. Doing grooming yourself will cause much less stress to your dog, and in some cases they will even learn to enjoy it.
My German Shepherd looks forward to grooming (She knows that it is time for plenty of rub downs, playing, and treats.) You want to make sure you praise and reward your dog for being good while being groomed - you want to make it an experience that they look forward to.
It is true that German Shepherds have a "double coat". This means they have that nice thick layer of outer fur that's longer and more coarse and a softer fluffy, downy laye r of fur beneath.
