Clipping Your Dog's Hair As Part Of Grooming Routine
Clipping the hair of your dog is just as essential as it is to wash it. Some dog owners tend to shy away from this task for one reason or other. This may be based on past experiences or an attitude that makes hair clipping simply a peripheral activity. We will look at hair clipping here in general and hopefully, you will benefit from a few tips.
The first step is to get all the equipment and supplies that you will need to carry out an effective procedure. One of such equipment is a grooming table which is designed specifically for these kinds of tasks. The table can be adjusted to a height of your choice and has a leash to fasten the dog and minimize its movements while you clip. Place your dog in the middle of table and let is lie or stand. Once it has been fastened, clipping may start.
Start by clipping the body parts that are less sensitive such as the back or sides. This helps your hand gets used to the clipping while also helping relax the dog. Clip away leaving a narrow layer of hair on the dog's body. Strive to clip evenly across the whole body. Certain parts will be sensitive and harder to clip such as between legs and so on. These will require the dog to be calmer. Fortunately, the clippers in today's markets are fairly safe to use and will be adjusted to any height you want.
As you clip, use the opportunity to also conduct a physical examination for any swollen areas or cuts so that you may attend to them. When done well, this massage will help the dog stay calm. If cuts exist, you will need to clean with sterile material and cover it up. Be careful not to clip hair into wounds since these may carry germs.
The size and type of dog has influence on the type of clipper you want to use. A small dog will probably need only a medium duty clipper but a large dog may do well with a heavy duty clipper. Heavy duty clippers have high speeds and are suitable when you want to do a lot of clipping quickly. If you are new to dog clipping you should start with lighter clippers before switching to heavy duty.
Since there will be a lot of hair after you clip, you should determine in advance how you will handle this. Small children should not be nearby when you clip. They might try eating the hair and this can be very dangerous. Work where is easy to collect after you clip. If you are doing it outdoors, you should determine in advance the wind directions to minimize the fur or hair that will be blown into your face or clothes.
Finally, create sufficient time to clip your dog's hair as part of the grooming routine. If you are hard pressed for time, you can use professional people to do this for you. The best way to create time usually is to have a regular schedule for clipping.
