Want to save money on your next visit to the dog groomer? Avoid dematting fees by brushing out your dog’s fur every day or two. Make a habit of removing burrs and detangling hair after every walk then sit down for a full brushing every day or two. Often burrs removes easily if you get it out right away. If you find an especially stubborn burr, try crushing it with pliers then picking out the pieces from your dog’s fur. When it comes to foxtails, it’s not just a matter of saving money but also keeping your dog healthy; these grasses have barbs that can work their way through your dog’s fur and into his skin…and even travel to organs. You can save as much as 30 percent on your next grooming bill by dematting your dog yourself! There are many types of dog grooming brushes developed to serve different needs. Some are soft enough to groom a delicate puppy, while others can power through even the muddiest tangles! Depending on the fur type and length, your pet may require just one or two grooming tools, or an entire array of brushes and combs. Grooming and maintenance is a great chance to bond with your pet while keeping him or her happy – make the most of the occasion by being well prepared for the highest degree of comfort for you and your pup! Canines with rough outer coats may require a variety of dog grooming brushes, especially those that have soft fluffy fur underneath. Spaniels are one breed prone to mats due to curly, hard to groom hair – the perfect example of a pet that requires extensive grooming supplies. A coated pin brush and metal comb will do the trick to remove tangles, but a slicker brush may be more useful for tough matted sections. Choose a soft or medium brush with long, wide spaced bristles to finish the look. The same applies for canines with long, beautiful flowing coats! Shorter, wiry coats of terriers and schnauzers are best handled with firm bristled dog grooming brushes that feature lots of short bristles. Undercoat rakes, slicker brushes, and the firm bristled brushes mentioned above are effective on dogs with thick, wooly undercoats that tend to shed. Young puppies and dogs with thin, delicate, short, or sparse hair need specialized dog care. Brushes should be soft, evenly spaced, and if wire brushes are used they should be adequately coated to avoid irritation. Bristled brushes should be used for no more than fifteen minutes each grooming session – although these tools are great for finishing touches, they can cause injury to your pet’s skin. With careful consideration of the right dog grooming brushes, canine coat maintenance can be hassle-free and mutually enjoyable!
