Best Pet Supplies

There’s nothing worse than having a home full of dog hair, and right before summer is the time when dogs shed their winter coats. During the last month of spring, it’s important to brush dogs often to ensure that their winter coat winds up in the trash or compost bin, rather than on carpet, furniture, and clothing. Instead of regular grooming, some owners opt to have their dogs shaved right before summer, which isn’t a bad idea, but some long haired dogs can look a little odd without their regular coats. Instead of shaving, make use of a dog grooming comb a couple times per week. Brushed on bi-weekly basis, it should only take about fifteen minutes per day to ensure that a dog’s coat is smooth and free from shedding. However, some breeds with very long hair, like Collies and English Sheepdogs, might require more combing and brushing.

For tangled hair and mats, it’s best to take a three step approach with a rake, scissors or clippers, and a soft brush. First, untangle the dog’s hair a little bit with the rake, then take the scissors or clippers and cut out the mat or clump of tangled hair, afterwards, brush the area with a soft brush or comb.
