Loving adoption, ready to commit to a stable home for your pet

A dog's coat color and fur are the first impression it gives people. Smooth and shiny fur attracts people to explore and interact with it. Dogs with healthy hair often give people a feeling of being gentle, well-behaved, and clean, and are more popular with children. Who doesn’t want their dog to have hair that feels good and runs nimbly? Below, GGH shares some tips on caring for dog hair to make your dog have a beautiful appearance and a happy mood.

Beauty treatments for different hair textures

- Medium-long-haired and long-haired dogs

Represented by German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Bernese Mountain and Samoyed, their hair consists of a top layer of medium-long hair and an inner layer of dense long hair. This type of hair will stop growing after reaching a certain length, but when the weather is hot, the inner layer of hair will fall off to dissipate heat. Especially in summer, dog owners need to comb out the loose hair on the inner layer to prevent their dogs from licking it.

-Long-haired dog

Representatives of long-haired puppies are the Old English Sheepdog, Cocker Spaniel and Maltese. Their long, smooth hair always exudes an elegant temperament. Long-haired dogs' hair easily gets tangled, so knots need to be untangled in time to avoid them becoming tighter and even affecting the dog's activities. Knots that cannot be untied should be cut with scissors. To care for long-haired dogs, you should comb their hair frequently on a daily basis. When combing their hair, you can spray the hair with a mixture of coconut oil or fish oil and water before combing it. This can reduce pulling and static electricity, and increase the glossiness of the hair.

- Soft-haired dog breeds

Afghan Hounds and Yorkshire Terriers have long, soft hair that is fine, brittle, and easily curled and will continue to grow. If not properly taken care of, the dog will easily look messy, as if it has not woken up yet. This type of dog's hair needs regular grooming and trimming to remove split ends and maintain its outline. Hair that obscures your view is dealt with while trimming. The hair on the mouth, back and tail is combed in different directions and trimmed into layers. Some pet owners will braid their dogs into pigtails and multiple small braids, which make them look fun and cute and can also reduce hair tangles.

-Buzz hair dog

The top coat is short and hard, and can be seen on West Highland Terriers, Schnauzers and Dachshunds. This type of hair needs to be plucked and carefully cared for by hand to maintain its texture and color. Some owners trim their dogs' hair at home with a razor due to grooming costs.

- "Afro" Dog

Poodles and Teddy dogs are born with curly hair, which is fluffy, thick and soft to the touch. Adequate protein nutrition is the key to its amazing hair volume, and regular trimming and styling can help it maintain a round and cute doll-like outline.
