It is known that not only the owner, but also a canine friend has to be clean and brushed. Certainly, "dog" means of beauty differ from "human". Let's understand than and what they have to be.
Let's begin with hairbrushes. They will be necessary for dogs of long-haired breeds. It is possible to buy, of course, a usual plastic comb, but it is much better – a special metal hairbrush. It is flat, the frequency and length of teeth is various. It is better to take not too frequent with the alternating long and short teeth. By the way, such hairbrushes are very durable. For a decade precisely will be enough. Long-haired the slicker brush for backcombing of wool on ears, tows on paws is also useful. It is by the form similar to a massage hairbrush, only cloves from a wire. However, it more concerns those who go to exhibitions.
Short-haired such hairbrush is not required, but instead of it – a rubber massage mitten. Irrespective of length of wool it is good to get trimming knife. It is such knife with cloves. It is necessary for comb-out of the fading wool on a back of a dog. With its help of wool on your carpets will become notable less. It is necessary to comb a dog every day, well or at least every other day.
And here it is not necessary to bathe often at all. Even if you wash daily. To an animal such procedure will only do much harm – the structure of leather and hair of a dog differs from human. Times in 3 months more than are enough. Though paws after walk during wet weather need to be washed, but without soap. Shampoo, besides, has to be specialized – do not take in head to soap a dog the. The benefit, the range of all means for animals it is huge now.
Be defined that it is necessary for you from shampoo – protection against parasites (that does not exclude regular processing by special medicines), softness of wool, prevention of formation of koltun. There is also a dry shampoo. On structure it – like talc. Smeared, combed out – and an animal clean. By the way, about parasites. To each owner to decide independently what will suit the pet better – spray, the collar which is frightening off parasites, drops or talc. Validity period, expense and frequency of application for them various. Here advice will be given by the veterinarian, the manufacturer or the consultant in pet-shop. Claws can be cut off just scissors. But better tweezers will be suitable for dogs. It is necessary to cut off only a tip and it is very accurate – to touch living tissues of a claw very easily. After such negative experience the dog will hardly allow manicure further.
Teeth to dogs are brushed not so often, however the good owner has to watch dental health of the dog in time to notice problems with gums or a scale. For an ordinary procedure of toothbrushing the piece of bandage and tooth-powder is necessary. A little powder is soaked before receiving uniform gruel and by means of bandage wipe teeth. Eyes wipe with the cotton tampon moistened in tea tea leaves, and ears – hydrogen peroxide
Long-haired dogs are also cut – usually 2 times a year, according to the standard provided for breed. Special hairdressers for animals are engaged in it. As a rule, it is necessary to expiate an animal on the eve of a hairstyle. Still purity of wool can be helped by overalls. At least in it the dog "will collect" less dirt by wool. Both the dog is cleaner, and the apartment. Actually, it is only the main list. Experts have in the arsenal much more tools and means for leaving, often and cut. Often many of these tools and are far more expensive than means and, to admit, is even more high-quality, than "human".
