Use Your Dog Brushes and Brush Well Before You Bath Your Dog

Now it’s time to get out the dog brushes and your dog comb. These items are a must have for your dog grooming equipment and a prerequisite for your bathing and dog grooming.

There are a couple of way that your can brush your dogs coat out always checking with your dog comb to make sure that all the tangles are gone.

First your can layer brush. Starting at the bottom of your dog raise the hair up let a small amount drop down and then brush it until it’s free of tangles. Checking with your dog comb to make sure.

Second is a method that is called pat and snatch. You take your brush and hit the coat and lift up and away. Continue with this until the brush goes smoothly through the coat. Do not drag the brush through the coat against the skin or you will damage your dogs skin, causing brush burn. This second method will work with your slicker brush, not with your pin brush.

Depending on your dogs needs will depend on what brushes you will keep in your dog grooming tools and what method your will use.

Do not bath your dog until you can take your dog grooming comb through his coat and are sure all the tangles are out. Tangles that get wet will turn into mats and cause you more problems then you will want to deal with.
