Dog Grooming - Top Tips You Can Apply
2Grooming your dog is not an easy task. Depending
on the breed of dog you have one must consider
the type of hair the dog has, the style that you
wish, and how your pet acts when being groomed. I
adopted a small puppy, three years ago and I have
groomed him myself and had him professionally
groomed. He has gone from having long hair to now
having a "puppy cut". Becoming prepared before
you begin Gold Coast dog grooming is essential.
Also, consider the time allowed. If you are a
beginner, this will be something you need a
couple of hours to do. Below are a few things I
have found helpful to get ready before hand, and
what to do during the grooming process.
3Having Proper dog grooming Gold Coast Good
quality clippers - This is the most important of
all tools you will need. Don't go out and buy the
cheapest ones you can get, here you truly get
what you pay for. Also, make sure they come with
different length or changeable blades. Plastic
guards, as what you get with human hair clippers,
simply don't work (this is especially true with
dog's that don't have an under coat). Pins Brush
- These are great for long-haired dogs and
helpful when brushing out tangles and mats. Be
sure they have a rubber base on the pins for
flexibility, as it is easier for you and more
comfortable for your dog. Slicker Brush - Great
for finishing your dog grooming Gold Coast
session, giving your dog a great look.
4Comb - For use on the face of your dog, this tool
is a must. It's easier to get around the eyes,
nose, and mouth without injuring the dog like a
wire pin brush could do. Hair dryer - Good for
drying long-haired dogs, but be sure to use a low
warm setting as not to burn your dog. Also,
always dry your dog's hair before cutting and
brushing. Finishing Spray/Detangler - Depending
on the breed of dog, you may end up with hair
that is not lying down properly due to static
electricity and a good finishing spray will give
it the perfect ending touch.
5- Preparing for Gold Coast dog grooming
-
- Fully brush your dog before giving them a bath.
This will make bathing easier and when using
proper shampoos and conditioners your pet's hair
and skin will feel and look great. - Consider the shampoo you use. Many dogs are
sensitive to the harsh chemicals in pet shampoos.
Using all natural, oatmeal based, or
hypoallergenic shampoos are the best. - Use conditioner. I have found that this is so
helpful when brushing your dog during the drying
process. The hair dries faster and is easier to
brush.
6- A person to assist
-
- Grooming the underside of the dog, inside of
legs and arms, and grooming the sanitary areas is
extremely difficult. If you get an assistant they
can hold the dog in the air so this task so it
can be done with ease. - Your assistant can talk to the dog, keeping it
calm and distracting it while you are grooming.
