Many shovelers are curious about what are the steps to shave their dogs? Before shaving the dog, we must make some preparations. We must prepare electric shaver, dog-specific shaving blades, shaving cuts, combs and towels, and then follow the following steps:
1. Combing the hair
Before shaving the dog, the owner must first comb the dog's hair and comb the dust and dead hair in the hair. Specifically, it can be brushed from head to tail, from top to bottom, from neck to shoulder, and then brush the limbs and tail.
2. After taking a bath, the owner can give the dog a bath, so that it will look better when shave it. It should be noted that when bathing your dog, you need to use a shower gel for your pet. After washing, you also need to dry your dog's hair in time to prevent the dog from catching a cold.
3. Fixed dogs
Because some dogs are more resistant to shave, it is best to have two people when shave their dogs, one person is responsible for holding the dog down and the other person trimming it.
4. Start shaving
After two steps: combing and bathing, the owner can officially start shaving the dog. First, you need to use scissors to cut the dog's hair short, and then use a pet-specific shaver to shave the dog's hair. Be careful when shaving, it is best to shave in the direction of the dog's hair growth, so that the dog's skin will not be damaged. In addition, you need to leave a little while shaving. You should not shave your hair close to the skin to avoid damaging the dog's skin or hair follicles, resulting in no hair growth in the later stage.
5. Take good protection
After shaving the dog, it will lose a layer of protection, so the owner should pay attention to protecting the dog, especially when taking the dog out of the door and playing in the grass, the dog is easily bitten by some parasites because it has no hair on its body. Therefore, the owner should wear some clothes for the dog. If you shave your hair because you have been infected with skin diseases, it is not recommended to wear clothes on your dog, otherwise it will worsen the condition.
As long as you learn these methods, it will be very easy to shave your dog yourself.
