When brushing your pet's hair, you must ensure everything runs smoothly. You should follow a specific pattern in doing so. This way, everything will be more organized, and you won't have to repeat brushing the same area repeatedly. Try brushing at your dog's right hip first down to his foot. After brushing, continue on his neck to his back until you reach his side. Remember to brush the head and tail last.
You can also section his coat to make brushing easier for you. Ensure that the brush will reach his skin, not only the top layer of his coat. If your dog has knots, you can try to undo these when he is taking a bath. You must address knots as early as possible because they can cause irritation and eventually lead to a skin infection. In drying him with a towel, be gentle in patting, and do not rub the towel off his hair.
Any problem affecting your pet's skin and/or hair coat should require a visit to your veterinary clinic Lowell, MI.
