- Have you ever noticed what when your dog comes back from the groomer
his coat is shiny and he does not shed very much for the next few days
or, if you’re lucky, the next week?
Many people wish they could achieve the same results that their dog
groomers deliver – You’ll be happy to hear that you can! It all starts
the kind of tools and equipment you use to groom your dog.
Here is a list of equipment a professional groomer will use:
- Slicker brush – used on shorter haired dogs and some non-shedding breed.
- Rake – These are great for use on long haired dogs and those with a heavy undercoat.
All this equipment is very useful. If you have a long haired dog, or
one that has a thick undercoat, you have probably experienced some
serious shedding problems. The rake is the most useful tool for you to
use to combat this. It pulls out massive amounts of hair. It actually
does not “pull” out the hair or even cut it. What it does is grab the
loose hair in the undercoat that you do not see in your dog but falls
out periodically as he or she moves around. This tool is the best
weapon you have against shedding problems – If you remove this hair
before it falls out on its own, you will not have to deal with it on
your floors and clothes. Sounds logical right? Many pet owners fail to
realize the effectiveness of this simplistic thinking. Give it a try
and be consistent about it, and you will notice less shedding the first
time you use it.
Keep in mind that some of this equipment may be difficult to find at a
discount department store but you may be able to find it at a pet shop
or specialty store or through online retailers. Once you use them
though, you’ll wish you had found them a long time ago!
