How to use pet needle comb correctly

The needle comb is thin, so it can comb out some slightly knotted fur, but it is not suitable for solving the serious knotting because it is soft. The comb is thin and the head is pointed, so it is not suitable for dogs with soft and straight fur like Maltese, because the dog's skin may be scratched by accident. Therefore, the comb is more suitable for dogs with hard and fluffy fur, such as Teddy, Standard Schnauzer and so on.

There are different sizes of needle comb, so you should choose the right comb according to the size of the dog. Usually the small one is used to comb the hair of a small dog or cat. Comb your dog's hair, especially if you are a big dog. You'd better choose a large area comb with a metal base plate behind it. In this way, it will be more labor-saving and the dog will be more comfortable.

When combing the dog's hair with a needle comb, it should be combed in the reverse direction and layer by layer. When combing the dog's hair with a needle comb, we can't comb it from top to bottom like we use a general comb. Because the needle of the comb is generally short, it can't reach the root of the dog's hair from the surface of the dog's hair, but don't comb it directly against the skin, which will easily damage the dog's skin. 

In the use of the needle comb, the reverse layer by layer comb, in order to loosen the dog's hair layer by layer from the root of the hair, and finally achieve the purpose of combing the dog's hair. Some owners are really very attentive to help their dogs groom, but because of improper combing methods, they always only comb the upper layer of the dog's hair, while the lower hair is still in the state of knot, so over time, the dog's hair knot phenomenon is quite serious.

Pay attention not to let the tip of the needle comb prick the dog and his hand. The tip of the comb is very sharp. The dog's skin is generally thick and not easy to be pricked. However, when combing to some special parts, such as around the dog's eyes, under the ears, belly, etc., the skin in these places is relatively thin. 

If you use too much force, it is easy to prick the dog And it may cause trauma. In addition, we should remind you to be careful not to prick your hands. Because we need to hold the dog's body, or grasp the fur in one hand, and comb the hair layer by layer with the other hand, so that it is easier to comb to the hand holding the hair. Therefore, whether it is the safety of the dog's skin or the safety of itself, we should pay special attention to it. Therefore, grasp the strength and depth of carding, so as to ensure safety, and can be well combed for dogs.

It should also be noted that every time after combing the dog's hair, the needle comb should be cleaned. After removing the miscellaneous hair, it is better to clean it again. Some owners may think that not cleaning up in time will not bring much impact on the health of the dog, but if it is done for a long time, the bacteria will surely grow slowly. Combing the hair once is equivalent to leaving some bacteria on the dog, which will cause skin diseases over time. Therefore, even cleaning the comb is a very heavy step.
