Dog Grooming Tutorial | Hong Kong Professional Pet Grooming Guide – Forever Pets
Dog grooming instruction covers basic bathing, combing, trimming, grooming, and deodorization. Proper home grooming can effectively prevent skin diseases and tangles, and strengthen parent-child relationships. Common Hong Kong breeds, such as the Poodle, Schnauzer, and Shiba Inu, require a grooming frequency and bathing routine tailored to their coat type. For daily grooming, prioritize gentle shampoo and regular cleaning of ears and eyes, and avoid strong fragrances and human bath products.
List of common beauty steps
- Supplies: Double comb, Slicker brush, blow dryer, scissors, shampoo, towel, ear cleaner, styptic powder
- Combing: First comb the hair and then detangle it in layers, paying special attention to the armpits, belly, and behind the ears.
- Bathing: Water temperature 35-38℃, wet first, then apply shampoo, scrub thoroughly and rinse thoroughly
- Blow dry: After the towel absorbs water, use a hair dryer to dry it completely at low speed, smoothing the hair while blowing
