Keeping pace with the times, today's beauty hospitals are rising and growing like bamboo shoots after spring. Because of the rise of pet grooming, more and more people will take their dogs out for grooming, but sometimes they will take the initiative to help dogs with grooming! Pet grooming is not only about beautifying small animals, but also a manifestation of maintaining pet health. Different pets have different requirements when doing beauty treatments, so some aspects are worth noting.

Bath the dog

1. Dogs should take a bath every four to eight weeks. If your dog is less than eight weeks old, ask your veterinarian before bathing for him, because they are susceptible to colds or are sensitive to certain beauty products. Every time you have to comb your hair before helping your dog take a shower, because if the hair is knotted, it will only wrap tighter after wet water.  

2. The owner should choose hair washing water and hair protection liquid suitable for the dog, but the latter is not necessary. You can apply some eye ointment to your dog before washing, which can help protect their eyes. Remember to clean the foam thoroughly, as if it remains on the skin, it will cause allergies to the dog.

3. Because dogs are prone to colds, they need to use a wind turbine to dry their hair afterwards. Do not allow it to go out until it is completely blown dry.

Groom the dog's hair

1. Groom the dog's hair every few days. Of course, it depends on the length of the dog's hair. Combing your hair can help the dog untie the knots on the hair, balance the secretion of skin oils and remove dead skin. Of course, you can also enhance your relationship with the dog through this time.

2. After taking the dog home, you should get used to combing your hair as soon as possible, so that it will regard it as a part of life in the future.

3. Long-haired dogs such as Afghan hounds, demon angels and Lhasa dogs need to comb their hair every day to maintain their shape. The Golden Retriever and Lovina can be combed once every one to two weeks.

4. In addition, the comb and brush used depends on the different dog breeds. Some comb gloves and soft rubber brushes are suitable for soft furs and dogs, and long-haired dogs need to use combs.

5. Before starting combing, start with the dog's head, then the ears, chest and fore feet, then to the back, sides, belly and hind feet, and finally the tail. Every time you comb, do not comb too much force.

Cut your dog's nails

1. Eight-week-old puppy cuts his nails every other month. Every time you cut it bit by bit, if you use dog nail clippers to cut the puppy with too big, you can use it instead for human use.

2. If you hear the "click, click" sound when the puppy is walking, it means that its nails are too long, and the owner will cut it immediately.

Wash the ears

1. Help the dog wash his ears once a week. Use some cotton balls to dip them in cleaning solution to help it apply. Some long-eared dog breeds such as ladies and bell dogs need special attention to the cleaning of their ears to ensure that they are clean, tasteless and pink.

2. Pet grooming can be said to be an indispensable aspect of pets nowadays. Pet owners only know that pets should go for beauty, but there are probably not many concepts on how long it takes to take a bath and cut nails. The above aspects introduce basic beauty knowledge.
