Things about dog hair: combing
Why do dogs need to comb their hair
1. Dogs will lose hair continuously during the hair replacement period. Cat slaves can speed up this process based on combing their hair, and comb out the hair that should be lost, so that the dog will lose less hair. If you do not combed your hair immediately, the fallen hair will not only harm the dog's beauty and generosity, but will produce balls of yarn in the stomach after being licked and sucked by the dog, which will harm digestion and absorption. In addition, fallen hair will stick to human body and can also cause various problems.
(The dog with two layers of hair falls seriously, which is a confusion for the owner, but it is a good thing for the dog. If the bottom hair falls out incompletely, it will weaken the dog's ability to solve the geographical environment)
2. Combing the hair immediately can immediately remove the dog's hair.
After playing outside, the skin is very prone to stains. This stain will harm the hairy skin insulation board. Combing the hair immediately can remove the stains and also keep the dog beautiful and elegant.
Avoiding knots can also change directions to massage the dog, promote the blood circulation system, and improve the emotions between the owner and the dog. If the skills are appropriate, the dog can even get the feeling of relieving stress.
3. Deal with skin problems in a timely manner.
The dog's hair looks like a "protective layer thickness", hiding his skin problems, including wounds, inflammation, swelling, schizophrenia, hard lumps... Cat slaves can deal with this abnormality in a timely manner while combing their hair.
4. Balance the vegetable oil on the hair. Dogs' hair will also metabolize vegetable oils to improve hair and care for skin care. However, they are not able to lick their own hair like cats. Therefore, cat slaves must help them comb their hair to make the vegetable oil evenly distributed.
Sequence of combing order: Start from the head and neck, from front to back, and from top to bottom, that is, from head to neck to shoulders, then the back, chest, waist, abdomen, hindquarters, then comb the hair part, and finally the limbs and tail ends. During the combing process, one side should be combed and then the other side should be combed.
Skill: When combing, you should quickly comb and pull the hair in the direction of the hair. When combing hair for long-haired dogs, many people only comb the surface of the hair and ignore the fine hair combing below.
Time: Comb your hair once in the morning, noon and evening, and comb your hair for five minutes a day. Do not comb too often, but you should not be lazy.
The dog's ear hole will appear in the dog's ear holes, which will mix together to block the ear holes. If the owner is combing the dog's hair, it also needs to eliminate unclean things in the ear holes. If it is not easy, you can ask the pet doctor to remove it while taking a bath.
Method of combing hair
Short hair type: The fur is short and hard, which is very conducive to combing, but during the hair replacement period (spring and autumn), there will be a lot of hair removal.
You can first heat a pure cotton towel and apply heat to promote the dog's blood circulation system, and then use a soft fur comb to comb the entire body of the dog.
These hairless dogs, such as Chinese crested dogs, must use a wooden comb or soft brush to gently comb their body on time. However, when combing, it is best to understand the advice of good pet doctors in advance and then carry out regular medical care.
Hairy polytype: You can't just comb the hair of the long-haired dog. The owner must also comb the fine plush on the inner layer.
There is no need to just comb the surface with a lot of hair and ignore the combing of the bottom hair (fuzzy) below. The base hair of a dog is soft and fine, and is not combed for a long time, which is prone to tangles and may even cause skin eczema, soriasis or other skin diseases.
When grooming a long-haired dog, it should be combed layer by layer, that is, turning up more hairs, and then combing the base hair. You can use an oval needle comb to comb the hair in the order of the feet-human body-face, and finally use a wide-tooth comb to comb the tied fur.
Brizzle shape: As thick and hard as thin iron wire, use a suitable wooden comb and its bristle brush. This type of dog's hair is more likely to be tied, so you should be very careful when working with medical care, and you must be careful to remove each knot. There is no need to use force to pull it out. If necessary, you can use scissors to cut off the hair you are worried about together.
Curly type: There are relatively hard spiral curls in its soft hair. Therefore, it will look very loose and soft to the touch. But hair like that is very easy to tie, especially after applying a strap, under its armpits, head and neck, back, and back feet. If you don’t pay attention to sorting it out, the knot will become more and more serious. Therefore, it is best to comb the hair once a day, which not only saves time and effort, but also saves the pain of dogs from knotting.
