The dog's fur is dirty and messy, and it's ugly. How to take care of your dog's body hair?
The most basic way to care for your dog's body hair is grooming. By combing the body hair every day, it can remove the dirt in the body hair, stimulate the skin, promote blood circulation, and make the body hair more tidy.
Let’s first introduce a most reasonable carding method and its essentials. The grooming of the body hair should start from the lower part of the dog, complete the partial grooming first, then slowly expand to the upper part, and finally brush the entire body.
For dogs with medium hair or less, comb the hair in the reverse direction first, and then comb the hair in the forward direction, which can remove large pieces of hair. The dirt and dander are removed, making the hair neater. After combing the hair, you must use a hot towel to wipe the body hair again, so as to remove the fine dust. Makes the fur look more beautiful.
Indoor dogs are mostly long-haired dogs. For long-haired dogs, the body hair can be divided into upper and lower parts, starting from the bottom. Part by part comb. In actual operation, you should comb in the direction of the hair, first comb the tip of the hair, and then slowly comb to the root of the hair. If you encounter clumps of hair, you can slowly break them off with your hands before combing. Hair balls that have formed into balls must be cut with scissors before combing. Maltese, Yorkshire and other dog breeds have thin, soft fur, which is easy to break with a wire brush, and must be used exclusively for animal hair. Comb or brush with round-toothed wire bristles.
Notes when grooming long-haired breeders
The body hair of long-haired breed dogs is easy to be covered with dust, broken or formed into hairballs, especially the parts with more soft hair, such as the underside of the ear, the lower jaw to the neck, the inside of the body and the flank Bottom, tail root, etc. When combing, don't forget to loosen it first and then comb it.
The last combing process of the long-haired dog is to use a denser grate to get rid of the dirt that cannot be combed by the comb. Straighten the hair. Gently hold the grate when combing, and repeat the above-mentioned body hair combing process, that is, slowly comb upward from the dog's body side, and then slowly transition from the tip of the hair to the root. If the castor does not pass, you can use a comb to go through it again. Or comb less hair each time, little by little, until the combing is complete.
For the grooming of short-haired dogs, first comb the hair in the opposite direction, loosen the dirt, and then follow the hair. Comb the side once to loosen the dirt, and then comb it again in the direction of the hair to remove the dirt. Finally, wipe the dust off with a hot towel, and wipe off the moisture with a dry towel.
A set of tools must be reserved for combing dog hair. Animal hair combs are made of pig hair, etc., and the body hair after combing is very shiny. Round-toothed metal comb is a finishing brush with round-grained metal tips. Brushes with different lengths of comb teeth should be selected according to the length of the hair. Metal Combs are wire-toothed combs for combing stray hairs or removing depilation. Metal-grate combs are specially designed for grooming long-haired breed dogs, with denser teeth.
How to use various combs
The animal hair comb or round comb should be light Hold the handle of the comb and operate it with wrist movements. The metal comb should be pinched with the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and gently combed against the skin. Be careful not to use too much force to prevent the tip of the wire from scratching the dog's skin. Grooming can also remove parasites such as lice and fleas. Moreover, the skin can also be checked during the grooming process. If the skin is elastic and pink, it is normal. If it is red or eczema, it may be a skin disease or parasitic disease.
