The correct method of combing a dog's hair

When combing a dog's hair, you should start from the dog's neck, from front to back, and from top to bottom. First, comb the dog's hair slowly from the neck to the shoulders, then gently comb the dog's hair in the order of back, chest, waist, abdomen and hindquarters, and finally comb the dog's head, limbs and tail.
When combing hair, you should comb one side first and then the other side, following the direction of the hair. When combing long-haired dogs, some owners only comb the long hair on the surface and ignore the underlying fluff. This is an incorrect combing method. The dog's undercoat is soft and dense. If not combed, it can easily form tangles and even cause eczema, tinea or other skin diseases. It is best to comb long-haired dogs layer by layer.
