Grooming dog's coat
Grooming your dogs at home is a task every dog owner has to master if you want to avoid a possible situation where your dog may develop a health problem as a result of little or no grooming for the dog.
One good thing for dog owners is that dogs do not generally need to be bath daily like humans but part of learning how to groom your dog at home is, knowing the frequency of grooming your dog requires and keeping on schedule. This usually depends on the breed of the dog and its hair type.
Dog grooming can be an unpleasant exercise both for the dog and dog owners who are new to dog grooming. For a beginner groomer, dog grooming can be quite demanding in terms of time and the effort required coupled with the challenges of having to get the dog to become comfortable with the process of grooming.
Grooming for dogs with curly or wavy hairs can be easily achieved with the following simple steps:
- With a slicker or pin brush, brush out the coat to get rid of dead hairs and break up matted and tangled hair with a coat rake or a mat comb or you could use a scissor to cut through it.
- In order to be certain that the you have gotten rid of mats and tangles, gently comb the entire length of the dog’s coat and see if you will experience any obstruction in the process. If you do it is most likely a tangle or a mat, you should get rid of it.
- Use a scissor to trim the excess hairs on the dog’s leg and from under the foot and foot pads.
- Now you can bath the dog but do not manually get involved in the drying process and you should neither brush the coat; in order for the curls of the coat to stay intact you should it to dry naturally.
