Anyone ever have to thin the hair? Silk's coat is so beautiful and thick. She had just been groomed when I bought her so I haven't really done anything to her. I am thinking of doing her face. It was 'clean' when I got her and made her nose look longer so now she has a moustache down the side. not sure if I like that yet or not. Anyway, I was watching her running outside today with her long hair flowing in the wind and thinking how pretty she is. Then I thought about what thick hair she has and how hot it will be later this summer. Will she get to hot outside for say, thirty minutes at a time running and playing? Does it need to be thinned out. It is really thick. I can't thin it myself so I would have to take her to the groomer which I am afraid to do. She is so pretty, I am afraid they will mess her up. Thanks!!!!!!!! |
Bump This board sure is slow. I need an answer please and thanks. |
I can 't really help you without seeing her coat. I have 2 girls with very thick cottony coats that I keep cut in a puppy cut. I have thinned them out before and it helped, but not because of the summer heat. Maybe someone else can answer your question. :) |
thinning You can buy a pair of thinning shears and do it yourself. I rarely thinned a silk coat..those I cut shorter in a puppy or "pixie" cut..silk coats are ususally not too hot for a dog..the length can be a problem for them..good luck |
I have "shelled out" my maltese before and thinned her coat in the summer. |
Thanks for your replies. i have already decided I want all mine to have the long coats so no puppy cuts here. Guess i will just see if her thick coat causes any problems. I would be afraid to even try to thin her myself tho I have seen the thinning shears. She is ready to come inside after a few minutes so she probably won't overheat. Again, thanks |
