How to Brush Your Dog: Untangling the Issues

あなたのペットの毛皮を磨くことはメンテナンス上の問題ではなく、必然です！ブラッシングは、ペットをきれいに保ち、過剰な脱毛を排除し、あなたとあなたの好きな家族のペットにとって素晴らしい接着体験として役立ちます。あなたのペットがどれほど毛羽立っていても、ちょっとしたブラッシングは遠くに行くことができます。

Dogs are not exactly what you would call cleanly animals. Therefore, it becomes necessary to engage in some regularly grooming. For short haired doggies such as Doberman pinchers, greyhounds, or Chihuahuas  this isn’t such an imperative. However, if you’ve ever owned or know someone who’s owned a Siberian huskie, border collie, or a Lhasa Apso then you’ll also understand the apocalyptically fuzzy nightmare that awaits you if you miss even a single scheduled session of brushing.

So there are a few things you need to consider before smoothing out those rampant tufts and tangles in your beloved mutt. First among these considerations is the question of which brush to bust out?

それがあなたの子犬を覆われないようにするなら、あなたは専門的なグルーミングアドバイスを求める必要があるかもしれません。実際、それはおそらくどちらかの良い考えです。犬のファンシー雑誌で読んだスーパー専門のブラシで銀行を破る前に、彼らがどのようなブラシをお勧めするのか、あなたの地元の獣医師またはグルーマーにお尋ねください。 Next you need to think about how to brush your dog. It’s not a complicated process, but there are some idiosyncrasies and intricacies that bear mentioning. For example:

• where to start,
• whether to go with or against the grain,
• and how long to continue.

Start at the dog’s head and be extra careful here, because your pup’s skull is the most sensitive part. And you may need to avoid the frisky mutt’s bite as they might think that brushing is a new game, if they aren’t used to the idea. Start at the head and work your way down the body until you get to the legs and tail. Then do those individually in any order you choose.

Going against the grain is usually reserved for those shorter finer coats that won’t pull so strongly against the dog’s skin. However double coated dogs require both: with the grain for the top layer, and against to get those hard to reach bottom hairs.

As for how long you need to keep this up, that’s entirely up to how clean you need your dog to be. Some mutts can be brushed for hours and still have plenty of fur in reserve so use your best judgment and get to work!
