The groomers will give you a few pointers as well... Is his hair matted anywhere? They might want to cut it shorter instead of putting him through the dematting, esp that it's his first appointment. The sanitary areas and paws are always trimmed, you might want to trim his belly hair short as well, you can't see it and makes a whole new difference while brushing. My pup doesn't like being combed, he's getting a little better though and I usually do it first thing in the AM before he really wakes up. It's only his puppy hair and it's going to grow out anyways, the new hair coming out on Pepper is so much thicker and smoother, way easier to take care of. |
