We all like dogs to look they best, and even the dogs might enjoy looking good too!
All dog’s fur needs to be brushed to be kept nice, especially if he has long fur like my dog Chloe. Sometimes I wonder how she can get her fur so messy! The day after I’ve brushed her, she has messed it all up.
The dog brush you choose, needs to be one that can handle the dog’s fur. If your dog has long or thick fur he will need a brush with hard, strong bristles that are close together, which are more like pieces of wire.It is also important to get all off the notts out, outherwise those notts can turn into large mattered areas which are very hard to remove. You should brush a long-haired dog like Chloe at least once a week, in order to not have many notts, and keep her looking good.
Short haired dogs only need soft brushes, otherwise the hard wire bristles may hurt them. They do not need to be brushed quite as often, but they still need to be brushed to get all of the loose hair off them. Even though Sasha (who has short hair) doesn’t need to be brushed as often, she still likes the feel of the brush, and looks forward to being brushed.
You can search around you local pet shop or department store for the right brushes and shampoos for your dog.
All the best,
Rachel and the Dogs
