How to Brush Your Dog: Untangling the Issues
Escovar a pele do seu animal de estimação não é apenas uma questão de manutenção, é uma necessidade! Escovar ajuda a manter os animais de estimação limpos, elimina excesso derramamento e serve como uma experiência de ligação maravilhosa para você e seu animal de estimação favorito da família. Não importa o quanto fuzz seu animal de estimação produz, um pouco de escovação pode percorrer um longo caminho.
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?
Se você tem um cão com um casaco longo, fluido, suave que parece que poderia ser um candidato para um comercial L'Oreal você vai precisar de um pin pin pin ou algo com cerdas mais suaves, dependendo da sua preferência. Os revestimentos mais macios e mais curtos ficam melhor com cerdas macias ou de grau médio. Um vagabundo como casaco que é todo emaranhado e desalinhado vai exigir cerdas firmes curtas que são novamente espaçadas de perto.
Se isso não manter seu filhote coberto, então você pode precisar procurar alguns conselhos de grooming profissional. Na verdade, isso é provavelmente uma boa idéia de qualquer maneira. Pergunte ao seu veterinário local ou groomer que tipo de pincel que eles recomendariam antes de quebrar o banco na escova de especialidade super você ler sobre na revista Dog Fancy.
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:
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!

I got a few useful tips from your blog, such as what brush to use and how to brush the coat, and it's very much appreciated.
Does anybody know of a reputable detangling spray that might help OR does anyone have an organic recipe that I can make up at home? I don't know if this would help but it's worth a try if it cuts out a bit of my dogs pain. Brushing should be enjoyable but for me and my dog. Its anything but! I hate hurting her!!!
