It does not matter what type of hair our dog has: long or short, straight or curly … All types of fur must be brushed and requires specific care. Keeping it clean, giving it a healthy appearance, distributing the natural oils of the coat itself, activating circulation, preventing tangles and, in the shedding season, making it easier for the old hair to give way to the new are some of the benefits of brushing the furry ones. . Benefits that will help our dogs have good hair health.
A good brushing will be key in detecting anomalies in the animal’s skin: lumps, spots, bald spots or even parasites such as fleas and ticks, aspects that, if not thanks to this gesture, would be difficult to detect.
Brushing, a habit that must be instilled in him from an early age
Like people, dogs are animals of habit. If we habituate our pet to brushing it since childhood, it will acquire it as a daily habit and will facilitate this activity, helping that time become a game, and thus creating a great bond between the two. If not, brushing can become a very dreaded moment, even causing anxiety. To avoid that our friends consider brushing a bad time, it is very important to start practicing it as soon as they are puppies.
To each coat, its brushing
Although all types of coat need to be brushed, the way to do it should not be the same. Each coat needs different care since the needs of each one and its characteristics are different. Short hair, which barely tangles, is not the same as long hair that tends to knots . Therefore, the type of brushing and the comb to be used must be adapted to each hair.
Next, we give you more details on brushing dogs in the photo gallery. Perhaps the comb you use is not the most appropriate, the way you use it is not the best, or you should brush more times a week. Attentive!
