Top Five Dog Grooming Basics
03 June 2009
1. Hair Brushing
Most dogs enjoy being brushed, and sessions will strengthen the bond with your dog while maintaining a healthy coat. A dog's minimum brushing needs depend on hair type. Choose the right tools and follow these guidelines.
* Long-haired dogs usually require daily brushing to prevent matting and tangling of hair.
* Medium-haired dogs may be prone to matting and tangles and should be brushed at least weekly.
* Short-haired dogs can typically go up to a month in-between brushing.
Regardless of hair type, you can brush your dog daily - especially if he enjoys it. More frequent brushing during shedding season can help prevent hair build-up and excess shedding. Consider products like the FURminator deShedding tool or the Bamboo Shedding Blade.
