Advice On Grooming Long-Haired Dogs
So, you’ve been thinking about getting a dog for years and now, finally, after deciding that you can afford the pet insurance, you have been giving lots of thought towards the breed that best suits your manic (or not) lifestyle, you have settled on a Shetland Sheepdog: that’s right, the loveable little lassie-type dogs that look so cute and have that amazing lion’s main fur that everyone on the street can’t help but want to stroke! Then you get the dog home and on the way to the front door it rains. Of course it does, you live in the north of England. By the time you get little Benny in the house, his back legs are a shaking and he’s dripping water everywhere and that’s only the start of this horror story… Many people who decide upon long-haired dogs find that actually it isn’t as much fun as they thought. Here are some things to look out for:
1) Fake ears: that’s right people, I said FAKE EARS. Sometimes the hair behind the ears can build up in to a fluffy fur ball that looks almost identical to an extra pair of ears! No word of a lie! To avoid this brush the dog regularly to curb the build-up.
2) Invest in proper combs and brushes: it’s no good using an old hair brush to get through thick fur and hair. It just won’t do. Investing in the proper tools makes your job so much easier.
3) Put your dog on a table when you brush him / her. That way you won’t do your back in and put yourself off doing this for life.
4) If you find it’s too much hassle, have no fear, there are always experts who will be happy to sort your little fella or lady out.
