Brushing Your Dog
Brushing your dog regularly helps avoid mats and tangles while also encouraging healthy skin and coat development. Additionally, it aids in better body temperature regulation for your furry friend.
Groomers typically dislike shaving matted dogs, as the primary reason for doing so is to prevent significant discomfort and pain that could arise from attempting to untangle their fur. To avoid this situation, it’s important to regularly brush your dog at home between grooming sessions.
To groom your dog at home, you’ll only require two essential tools: a slicker brush and a comb. Additionally, an Anti-Tangle Spray can be beneficial for easing through any knots.
