Pre-Work

Trim or grind nails at least every four to six weeks to maintain a healthy foot structure. Swab the ears clean with a mild ear cleaning solution. Prior to bathing quickly go over the entire body with a high-velocity dryer to help lift dirt and dander away from the skin and loosen any shedding coat.

Bathing

Use a regular, all-purpose shampoo followed by a skin conditioner, unless. Another type of product is indicated massage the lather into all parts of the body to ensure cleanliness. On an exceptionally dirty pet, a soft natural scrub brush can be used. Use a gentle touch and follow the natural direction of coat growth to quickly clean the dog.

Drying

A number of drying methods can be used on this coat type. Start with hand towel drying. Follow with high-velocity drying to remove excess moisture and to blow out any loose fur, using the most powerful setting the dog will tolerate. Always keep one hand on the pet to help stabilize it during high-velocity drying. Some Toy dogs cannot tolerate this drying method due to their size and sensitivity. If the high-velocity dryer is tolerated, dry until no moisture is being sprayed from the fur and/or no loose coat is being blown out. Finish with a different drying method. Some stylists remove the condenser cone and continue with the high-velocity dryer, holding the end of the nozzle right against the skin. Work in one area, with the coat growth, until the coat in that area is dry to the touch. Or, switch to natural air drying or kennel drying using a low-temperature setting. Whatever process or combination of processes is used, drying is not finished until the coat is completely cool and dry to the touch. Buy metrovac pet dryer for dogs and other animals.
