Park N Bark, Au Naturale Pet Salon

Regular grooming with a brush or comb will help keep your pet’s hair in good condition by removing dirt, spreading natural oils throughout her coat, preventing tangles and keeping her skin clean and irritant-free. And grooming time’s a great time to check for fleas and flea dirt, those little black specks that indicate your pet is playing host to a flea family. If your dog has a smooth, short coat

(like that of a chihuahua, boxer or basset hound), you only need to brush once a week: – First, use a rubber brush to loosen dead skin and dirt. – Next, use a bristle brush to remove dead hair. – Now, polish your low-maintenance pooch with a chamois cloth and she’s ready to shine! If your dog has short, dense fur that’s prone to matting, like that of a retriever use a slicker brush to remove tangles, and then catch dead hair with a bristle brush. For longer hair, you’ll need to remove tangles with a slicker brush, gently tease mats out with a slicker brush, and then brush her coat with a bristle brush.
