🐾 MJC Tuesday Tip! ✨ Brushing Your Dog…✨
For all you dog owners out there: brushing your pup is super important! Just remember, the amount of brushing depends on your dog’s coat type—like a wire-haired Jack Russell needing less attention than a curly Cockerpoo. Make sure to brush from nose to tail, and don’t forget to take off their collar and harness to get all those tricky spots! Regular brushing keeps their coat healthy and mat-free, so your groomer can focus on making them look fabulous rather than dealing with mats. We operate under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 which means that we have to place humanity before vanity and so, if your dog is too matted brushing isn’t always possible and may need to be shaved.
Dogs with long, curly and even wire coat types need regular - sometimes even daily brushing with a slicker brush and comb. These breeds include : Cockerpoos, Schnauzers, Jack Russells, Fox Terriers, Maltese, Bichon, Poodles, Cavapoos, Cavaliers
Short and smooth haired dogs can be brushed at home too. You can use a rubber brush or grooming mit that fits on your hand to massage the skin and bring dirt and loose fur to the surface. These dogs include: Chihuahuas, Bulldogs, Dachshunds, Boxers, Labradors, Rottweilers
Happy brushing! 🐶
