Clean the Teeth
A quick and easy way to clean a dogs teeth is to put fabric plaster on the end of the forefinger. Dip in water and then in Bicarbonate of Soda. Gently insert your finger into her mouth and massage the teeth and gums. Do this once a week to keep the teeth pearly white.
Here is the video as promised from my step by step post on how to groom a Pomeranian. These dogs are so adorable but the right cut is really essential. I can’t stress enough that a beginner may want to use thinning scissors at first. The cut will look more natural and any mistakes will not be as noticeable.
Pomeranian’s are beautiful when they are groomed and clean. The cut will also enhance the look of the dog. The owner can learn to do some maintenance work in between professional visits.
Each dog hair grows from a tiny opening within the skin. This is called the hair follicle, just like on humans. When a puppy is born, it already has all of the hair follicles it will ever have. The dogs hair can change as it ages or goes through different experiences, this will be due to a change within the hair follicle itself and not due to the addition of a new follicle.
Grooming your dog will be easier when the appropriate supplies are available. These are generally inexpensive and can be found online for a little less than driving down to the local store. The right supplies will pay for themselves in their time saving benefits (and more time is what we all need). The care of the dogs coat, skin and nails will help keep him happy.
Select the dog brush according to the type of hair in the dogs coat. There are three types. Some of the dogs hair is short and fluffy. These are the secondary hairs also called the undercoat. The other type of hair is the longer and stiffer hair that is the outer hairs. These hairs are the primary hairs and are also called the guard hairs, outer coat or topcoat. Now what’s the third type? Whiskers! The whiskers are the tactile hairs that help our canine friend experience his surroundings.
Anyone and Everyone who has ever tried to groom a dog knows the number one problem that exist is the TANGLES! How to get dog hair untangled is the question most asked. These knots and mats should be removed before bathing the dog. If not, they will just get tighter, and a shave will be the only solution.
No matter what kind of coat your dog has -long and soft like an Afghan Hound or Cocker Spaniel or thick and dense like a Siberian Husky or German Shepherd, you will want to keep her healthy and feeling beautiful.
