Frequently asked questions about dog grooming & dog bowls
In general, you should groom your dog regularly to maintain its health and detect signs of illness as early as possible. The sensory organs in particular should be checked continuously. The frequency of coat care depends on the type of coat: Short-haired dogs require less effort, while long-haired or heavily shedding breeds need regular brushing—ideally several times a week. At SABRO, you’ll find thoughtfully designed grooming accessories that feel comfortable and strengthen the bond between humans and dogs.
For smooth, short coats, we recommend soft brushes or gloves that gently remove loose hair. For long or curly coats, dematting brushes or wide-toothed combs help prevent tangles.
Regular visual checks are often enough – cleaning is only necessary when there is visible dirt or excessive earwax. Our gentle ear cleaners clean effectively without disrupting the delicate balance of the ears – completely free from alcohol or irritating additives.
Brushing teeth helps prevent plaque, inflammation, and bad breath. It is best to start when your dog is still a puppy. SABRO offers natural dental care products that remove plaque without overwhelming your dog—with a pleasant taste and no artificial foaming agents.
Stainless steel impresses with its hygiene, durability, and easy cleaning. Ceramic is flavor-neutral and stable. At SABRO, we rely on high-quality materials free from harmful substances—safe for dogs and people, practical for everyday use, and aesthetically pleasing at the same time.
An ergonomically positioned bowl—for example, slightly elevated—can help make eating more comfortable for larger dogs. This reduces strain on the joints and neck and supports a relaxed posture while eating. Our bowls can be combined and adjusted in many ways.
Food and water bowls should be cleaned daily—ideally with hot water and a mild cleaner. This helps prevent germs, biofilm, and unpleasant odors. Our SABRO bowls are easy to care for and retain their quality over time.
About Dog Grooming, Dog Bowls & Snacks
All-round care for a healthy dog
Feeding is one of the daily highlights for your dog. Alongside a balanced diet, accessories also play a decisive role. Large dogs benefit from raised feeding stands to prevent unhealthy gulping. At SABRO, you will find high-quality bowls and feeding stands that are both practical and stylish. Our dog bowls made from Swedish stainless steel combine durability, hygiene and appealing design.
Treats are also an indispensable part of everyday life for dog owners, which is why healthier snacks play an important role alongside the right accessories. But be careful: As much as your dog enjoys treats and chew snacks, they should never be given indiscriminately! For most dog owners, treats serve as a reward and express love and appreciation, helping you strengthen the bond with your four-legged friend. That is why our snacks are made from natural ingredients and contain no sugar, grains or artificial additives. Always reward your dog specifically when they have behaved correctly. Later, once the command and behavior are well established, you can reduce the treats somewhat. However, you should not skimp on praise and petting. Unlike ordinary treats, chew products not only provide meaningful activity, but also have the advantage that chewing naturally cleans your dog's teeth and contributes to dental health. Whether as a training aid, activity, dental cleaning or support for healthy teeth, the right choice promotes both health and joy.
Alongside proper feeding, caring for your dog is also a central part of their well-being and health. Proper dog grooming involves much more than occasional brushing of the coat: Caring for the ears, eyes, claws and teeth also plays a decisive role. A well-groomed dog not only radiates vitality but also feels comfortable all over. With the right care, you can prevent many health problems and strengthen the bond with your four-legged friend. Our tips will help you incorporate dog grooming into your everyday routine in the best possible way—from regular coat care and checking the ears and claws to dental care. This will help ensure that your dog stays healthy and happy at every age.
Healthy treats and chew snacks for your dog
With the many different dog treats and chew snacks available, it is important to take a close look at the ingredients. Only high-quality treats provide your favorite companion with vitamins and proteins. They are also much easier to digest and do not cause health problems such as tartar or intolerances. Flavor enhancers and sugar have no place here. Where possible, grains should also be avoided.
Purely natural ingredients are best: meat or vegetables. Dried meat is especially popular. It not only tastes delicious to your dog, but also contains important vitamins and proteins they need.
If you are training your young dog or training particularly intensively on a given day, it is best to use low-calorie treats and reduce the main food accordingly so that your dog does not become overweight. With puppies in particular, you should introduce them gently to new treats and training situations. Also watch puppies for signs of fear to ensure they have positive experiences with treats and training. In general, snacks should make up less than 10% of the total daily ration.
The benefits of treats and dog chew snacks at a glance:
- as a reward during training or in everyday life
- love and appreciation for your four-legged friend
- providing vitamins and proteins
- additional functions in some cases, such as dental cleaning
Well-groomed all over—care products for your dog
Dog grooming is not just a matter of appearance; it is essential for your dog's health. Special dog care products are particularly important because they are tailored to the needs of our four-legged friends and developed for caring for dogs—such as the ears, teeth and eyes, as well as the coat and paws. For some breeds, coat care should be part of the daily routine. Depending on the coat length, brushes, grooming rakes and similar tools need to perform different functions. Proper care for your favorite companion includes various areas such as dental care, coat care and cleaning the ears and eyes in order to maintain hygiene and well-being. Regularly checking and cleaning the eyes, ears, teeth and paws is also especially important and promotes your dog's well-being. It is crucial to find the right level of care to promote health without overwhelming your dog. This can even help prevent or ward off illnesses.
In addition to the health benefits, regular grooming also strengthens the relationship and bond between you and your dog. Together, you create the foundation for your furry friend to feel completely comfortable.
Caring for the eyes, ears, teeth and paws
Dogs use their ears and eyes to perceive their surroundings and move around safely. Regularly cleaning these organs is therefore particularly important. Check your dog's ears regularly to detect and prevent parasites and inflammation at an early stage. Chamomile can be used for gentle care of sensitive ears. Remove dirt regularly and gently, and prevent inflammation. Watery eyes in dogs also have a natural self-cleaning effect that helps flush out dirt and irritants. At SABRO, we offer many helpful products for caring for the eyes and ears, as well as suitable tips for acclimatization and use.
It is best to teach your dog to have their teeth brushed from an early age so they can get used to it and you can ensure healthy, clean teeth. Chew snacks are not a suitable alternative to proper dental hygiene. Regular care of all areas—eyes, ears, teeth and paws—is essential for your dog's well-being.
Also check your dog's paws and claws regularly and trim them when necessary. Use claw clippers to trim the claws safely and painlessly and prevent discomfort for your dog. This also allows you to quickly spot cracks or minor injuries on the paw. Regular paw care is especially worthwhile in summer and winter. In the event of an injury, it is best to protect the paw with a suitable dog boot from SABRO. We offer three different types of boots in various sizes to provide your four-legged friend with optimal protection.
Coat care—A shiny coat for every dog
Coat care is the heart of dog grooming and should be tailored to your dog's individual needs. Requirements vary depending on the breed and coat type: While short-haired dogs usually manage with occasional brushing, long-haired breeds need more intensive care. Regular brushing removes loose hair, prevents matting and keeps your dog's coat healthy and shiny. With the right brush or comb, you can care for your favorite companion's coat optimally while stimulating blood circulation in the skin. This keeps the coat not only beautiful but also resilient against external influences. Be sure to adapt coat care to the particular breed and coat type to give your dog the best possible care.
Long-haired dogs and their special needs
Long-haired dogs have special coat-care requirements. Their long fur quickly tends to become matted and tangled, which not only looks unattractive but can also lead to skin irritation and inflammation. It is therefore important to brush your dog's coat thoroughly every day and comb it regularly. This removes loose hair and effectively prevents matting. Occasional trimming can also make grooming easier and help keep your dog's skin healthy. During grooming, be sure to check the skin regularly for redness or small wounds so that problems can be detected early. With consistent care, your long-haired dog's coat will remain not only beautiful but also healthy and free from inflammation.
Care and well-being in old age
As your dog gets older, their needs change—including their grooming needs. Older dogs benefit from an adapted diet that addresses their specific requirements, as well as gentle but regular exercise. Coat care remains important because the coat often becomes thinner with age and the skin reacts more sensitively. Check your senior dog's ears, eyes and claws regularly to detect and treat inflammation or injuries at an early stage. Dental care should also not be neglected, as dental problems become more common with age. Regular visits to the vet help detect illnesses in good time and maintain your dog's health. With loving care and attention, you can help your dog remain vital and happy well into their senior years.
