Care by del

Today let's talk about hair care in our dogs, something that will determine whether our friend has a good appearance and also a hair and healthy skin.

The first thing to consider when it comes to hair care is the bathroom. We will not talk in the bathroom (and there is an article on this blog devoted to the bathroom), rather it is something very important, the shampoo we use.

In villages, it is customary to bathe the dog with human shampoo, or even a dishwasher, which is a huge mistake. The pH of the dogs' skin pH is different from human, so the dog has to have a proper shampoo.

If you also want more hair care for our dog, choose a suitable shampoo for your hair type. En el shampoo market we can find for each specific type of the, and there are even specific for each color shampoos, which enhance hair colors.

The second thing to consider is brushing, critical to keep our dog hair clean and in good condition. Thanks to daily brushing can keep the dog clean and spacious bathrooms. This is important, as the dog should not be washed too often, if you do not want to load the fat layer of the hair.

Brush the dog daily with a specific comb your hair type, but I will recommend a brand of combs called "furminator", that eliminates a lot more hair than other combs. And that is another reason to brush is to remove dead hair, and this he does very well comb.

Removing the dead hair care for hair and hygiene of our home, something important for your dog which you live in an apartment, as it will prevent the house is full of hairs that have just stuck to anything.

Collar or harness

When walking our dog we have to choose the type of leash and collar type that we use. Let's focus on the type of collar on this article.

The necklace has been a traditional element when driving and walking the dog, although lately it is being displaced by the harness, which will be discussed later. Back to necklaces, we have several types: from the traditional leather collar, through modern plastic necklace, with buckle, with quick, choke, etc..

Choose the collar depending on the type of dog we have, and above all depending on if you pull the strap to or not. Pulling much choose a leather collar with buckle fastening (much safer than quick release) or a punishment or choke, although the latter will do a professional consultation beforehand.

And in the verb "throw" is the key to this article, because if your dog does not pull one can choose either collar or harness, but if your dog pulls a lot, he and we will be more comfortable with the harness.

The harness is a chain complex that has strips that run along the trunk of the dog and make the force that makes our friend does not focus on the neck and the collar. On the contrary, the harness usually has the ring to tie the dog in the back of this, so that when you pull, force is distributed more evenly throughout the body.

There are articles that say the use of the harness is counterproductive in dogs that pull the belt, but in my case has not been well. I have a dog around 7 kilos pulling the strap enough, and that makes it much more when wearing a necklace when wearing a harness.

Therefore, and in my personal experience, recommend that the collar harness before.

Yorkshire Terrier

And this animal has a fur scandal in most cases a very silky long hair that requires lots of care to keep it in good condition.
