What are the precautions for pet grooming?
Groom the dog every few days. Of course, it also depends on the length of different dogs’ coats. Combing can help the dog untie the knots on the coat. Balance skin oil secretion and remove dead skin. Of course, you can also build relationships with the dog through this time. After bringing your dog home, let him get used to grooming as soon as possible. Then it will see this as a part of life in the future.
Long-haired dogs such as Afghan hounds, magic angels, and Lhasa dogs need to be groomed every day to maintain their shape. The Golden Retriever and Loweville can be combed only once a week or two. In addition, the combs and brushes used also depend on different dog breeds.
Some grooming gloves and soft rubber brushes are suitable for dogs with soft fur. Long-haired dogs use a comb. Before combing, start with the dog’s head. Then there are the ears, chest and forefoot. Then to the back, sides, belly and hind feet, and finally the tail. Each time you comb it, comb it little by little, not too hard.
Cut nails An eight-week-old puppy needs to cut his nails every other month. Cut little by little at a time. If you use dog nail clippers to cut the puppy may be too large, you can switch to human use. The steps for cutting nails are as follows: Hold the dog’s hand tightly. Hold the dog’s hand with your thumb, and hold the other fingers underneath. Hold the nail clippers in your other hand and cut them quickly and accurately without hesitation. If the bleeding is accidentally cut, use some hemostatic powder to hold the wound for 30 seconds or until the bleeding stops.
