Schnauzer (Detailed Introduction)

       Grooming a Schnauzer is really a headache for owners. Some owners think, since they have to regularly bathe and care for them anyway, they might as well leave it to the pet vet. But the consequence is that the dog’s fur gets severely matted, and sometimes their coat becomes dull and lackluster. Seeing other dogs looking sleek and shiny, is there any little trick to make your own dog look radiant as well?

       Actually, if you have a dog, you inevitably have to spend time and effort to take care of it. So if you want your dog to become a handsome boy or beautiful girl, the owner must not be lazy. For dogs like Schnauzers, the owner needs to brush their hair twice daily to ensure the dog’s fur does not severely mat. While brushing, the owner can also check if the dog has parasites or other issues. It’s important that the owner brushes gently; if you hurt the dog, it may refuse to let you groom it again.

       When you see tangles in the dog’s fur, you need to slowly untangle them with a comb. Some tangles can be brushed out quickly, while others are stubborn and won’t come out no matter what—owners must never be impatient. When you really can’t untangle a knot, you’ll have to painfully cut the fur. Some people apply some conditioner to the dog while grooming, which is excellent for healthy hair growth. However, owners should not use their own human hair conditioner on dogs, since the oil levels and other bodily factors differ completely between humans and dogs.

       To make dogs look more fashionable, many owners shave their dogs themselves, but many unintentionally botch the job and end up seeking help from pet groomers. Here we remind everyone to be moderate when shaving; leave some margin for yourself, don’t shave all the fur off at once. Gradual trimming is the way of grooming. Also, if you’re not fully confident, it’s better not to shave your dog yourself, since some dogs have strong pride and can be embarrassed too!
