Shih Tzu (details introduction)

　　It is said that people rely on clothing, beauty relies on decoration, and fairness can hide many flaws. So what does a dog rely on? Of course, it’s their fur. Fur is especially important for dogs, especially to have a smooth and flowing coat, which is very rare. Of course, wanting beauty means accepting the tragedy that long-haired dogs are prone to matting. Breeds such as Bichon Frise, Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers, and so on owe their beauty and charm largely to their innate fur characteristics. So, how should you handle your dog's fur when it becomes matted?
　　1. If your pet's fur is already matted, do not rush to wet the fur with water. Because when your dog's fur gets wet and then dries, it will shrink, making combing even harder. To detangle matted dog hair, prepare a professional comb and have a second one on standby. Sometimes it’s also necessary to prepare a professional dog detangling spray.
　　2. When combing your pet’s matted fur, start from the tip of the hair and carefully work towards the roots bit by bit. If the hair is very difficult to comb smoothly, you can spray some dog detangler, then continue combing. Of course, if the pet's fur is severely matted and cannot be combed out no matter how hard you try, the easiest way is to cut off the matted hair clumps with scissors and allow the fur to grow back.
　　Short-haired dogs rarely experience matting, whereas long-haired dogs are more prone to it. To prevent these problems, you can frequently groom them when there’s time, especially with long-haired breeds like Yorkshire Terriers, Shih Tzus, Old English Sheepdogs, and so forth. It is important to consistently comb their fur to prevent matting, which not only affects appearance but also can cause skin diseases.
