How to shear dogs in summer

How to shear your dog in summer

1. Tiptoe: Use small scissors to trim the hair on the tip of the toe to the length that can cover the nails, so that the tip of the tip of the toe just touches the ground when walking. Then use clipping to trim the hair growing between the toes into a natural round shape. Then the hair around the pads is shortened so that the pads are completely bare.
2. Forelegs: Use a wooden comb to straighten the hair, and use small scissors to cut off the excessively long hair. For a more natural look, don't cut them all to the same length, adjust the trim length appropriately to the contour of the leg.
3. Hind legs: If the hair on the hind legs grows too long, it will give people a heavy feeling, just trim it to a natural shape with clippers. But be careful not to cut too much, and pay attention to the overall sense of balance.
4. Abdomen: Appropriately short and thinning the hair on the abdomen can help the dog dissipate heat.

Dog shearing precautions

1. You can't shave all the dog's hair. When the owner uses the shaver for the dog, you need to pay attention to not shaving all the dog's hair. Although a dog can't speak, it also has a strong self-esteem. If it sees that its hair is gone, it looks particularly ugly, and its mood will become particularly low.

2. When shearing, do not cut the dog's skin. A dog's skin is not very elastic and loose. When the coat is pulled up for trimming, it will accidentally cut the skin off. Dogs will either avoid or hate trimming in the future, depending on how they have been injured. Therefore, when shearing, especially for a short time, the scissors must be parallel to the skin, trim against the direction of the hair or cut from the bottom up, so it is not easy to shear.

3. When using the shaver. It should be noted that the time should not be too long. If it takes a long time, it will become hot and hot. Therefore, after shaving for a period of time, let it rest and continue working after it is completely cooled.

4. Keep warm when shaving in winter, especially for long-haired dogs. Take precautions to keep warm in winter to avoid colds, coughs, runny noses, and other respiratory symptoms caused by cold.

5. Pay attention to trim the hair between the toes of long-haired dogs. Trimming means not only trimming the hair of the comforter, but also trimming the hair between the dog's toes. Long hair grows on the soles of the feet, with longer and more hair between the toes. Feet are prone to getting dirty and slipping when walking, so the hair between the toes is also within the scope of trimming.

6. Pay attention to trimming the long hair around the external auditory canal and anus. Some dogs have more hair in the external auditory canal, which is easy to cause parasites or otitis externa, which can be trimmed or pulled out regularly. Long-haired dogs also have a lot of long hair around the anus, which is easy to cause defecation pollution, so trim it every 2 to 3 months to reduce pollution.
