The Corgi's double coat is designed to adapt to outdoor life. The outer layer is rough hair that can waterproof, and the inner layer is soft fur. They shed a lot of fur twice a year, in spring and autumn, which is the molting season for Corgis. How should you comb Corgi’s coat?

1. Start with a needle comb

First, we use a needle comb, such as the Furminator, to unclog the knots and remove the fallen hair attached to the skin. This comb has a metal tip and can comb the hair easily. When combing, be gentle and don't use force, because force will irritate the skin. After a few minutes of combing, a large amount of floating hair on the dog will fall off.

2. Use a fine needle comb

After combing out a lot of dead hair, you now need to use a fine-needle comb to deal with the stubborn knots, and carefully comb out the knotted parts bit by bit. The goal is to comb it out smoothly from beginning to end. If you encounter a knotted area in the middle, comb that area again and again until it becomes smooth.

3. Finally, use a bristle brush

After the first two steps, the floating hair is gone, the hair is smooth, and the knots are opened. The last step is to comb with a mane. A good horsehair or boar bristle brush is necessary for this step to lighten your dog's outermost coat.

Combing the coat is not only to remove dead hair or open knots, but combing the coat every day can also promote and improve blood circulation on the skin surface, making the coat healthier and shiny. Moreover, combing your dog's hair can also allow you to check the skin condition in time. Are there any blisters or rashes?

The key to grooming your Corgi's double coat is to comb it regularly every day. You can start directly with a fine-needle comb in normal times, but during the peak shedding season, start from the first step. If you stick to it, your carpets, sofas, and bed sheets will all be affected by it. Saved.
