Grooming The Dog

Good hygiene improves dog health and keeps your pooch looking stunning. Here are a few tips to keep him looking his best.

Accustom your dog to being brushed. For the first few times, use a soft bristled brush and talk to your dog calmly and softly while brushing.

Use long straight strokes going in the direction of the fur. Going against the fur can sometimes irritate the skin and agitate your dog. Begin with shallow stokes to remove any knots or tangles which may be on the surface of the fur and then work deeper into the fur.

Different brushes and combs are suited for different coat types. Check with a dog groomer or your local pet shop for the best grooming tool for your pet's coat.

For an after brushing treat, apply a bit of dog moisturizer to your dog's coat and skin for a healthy coat and to help alleviate dry skin. An after grooming dog treat is nice too.
