So you've decided to go the home dog grooming route in order to
save bucks, right? Well
- Stainless Steel Brush - Stainless steel brushes are great because they don't rust. They also last a long time. They also come in a variety of sizes and lengths
- .
- Stainless Steel Scissors - Scissors are used for those hard to reach areas. Buy safety tip scissors if you're trimming in sensitive places or if you have a dog that fidgets.
- Dog Clippers - Specialized clippers have an advantage over barber clippers in that specialized clippers have snap-on attachments which allow for accurate length.
- Rubber Brush - this brush is best used for short-haired dogs. You use it against the dog's hide.
- Stripping Knives - this instrument is used on dogs with wiry coats. Wire haired dogs need their coats stripped every few months. Go in the direction of your dog's grain when using the stripping knife.
Long coats require grooming twice a week or their hair will matt. Use a slicker brush, bristle brush and steel wide tooth comb. Use the slicker
brush daily to ensure the coat doesn't get tangled and matted.
Then
use the pin brush, which penetrates the hairs more deeply. Make sure
you untangle your dog's hair underneath his legs. Most people neglect
that part.
Finally, use the wide-tooth comb to take out any
left-over tangles. You can also use a finer tooth comb to give him a
glossy finish.
