We should also pay attention to combing dogs, because many times parents don’t know how to comb dogs. Maybe parents also wonder what knowledge there is in combing dogs. In fact, we still have some knowledge when combing dogs. There is a lot of work to be done, so don’t think that just combing the dog’s hair is enough. Let’s learn about the methods and precautions for combing the dog’s hair.

First, you should use special equipment when combing hair, do not use human combs and brushes. The method of using an iron comb is to hold the back of the comb with your hands, swing it gently with your wrist, and move it horizontally. Use coarse, medium, and fine combs alternately. The usage of the brush is to use the strength of the wrist. The brush has many teeth. When combing, lift the hair with one hand, and then brush the other part.

Second, when combing, the movements should be gentle and meticulous, and should not be done roughly or recklessly to avoid causing pain to the dog. Be especially careful when combing the coat near sensitive parts (such as external genitalia).

Third, always pay attention to the dog’s skin. A clean pink color is good. If it appears red or has eczema, there are possibilities of parasites, skin diseases, allergies, etc. and should be treated in time.

Fourth, if parasites (worm bodies or eggs) such as fleas and lice are found, they should be wiped with a fine wire brush or treated with insecticides in time.

Fifth, when the dog's coat is seriously stained, conditioner (1000 times diluted) and baby powder should be used together with combing. Sixth, before combing the coat, if you can wipe the dog's body with a towel soaked in hot water, the coat will be brighter.

The benefits of regular combing: Dogs raised indoors will have their hair grow and shed all year round, especially in spring and autumn, when a large amount of coat will fall off. The shed coat not only affects the dog's appearance, but may even form hair balls in the gastrointestinal tract after being licked by the dog, affecting the dog's digestion. In addition, the shed coat often adheres to various indoor objects and people, causing family members to feel disgusted and unhappy with the dog. Therefore, the dog’s coat should be combed frequently. Combing can not only remove shed coat, dirt and dust, prevent the coat from getting tangled into a felt shape, making the dog's coat clean and beautiful, but it can also massage the skin, promote blood circulation, enhance skin resistance, relieve fatigue, and can Prevent the occurrence of parasitic diseases or skin diseases.
