Needle comb
The needle comb is relatively thin, so it can It is good to comb some slightly knotted coat, but because it is relatively soft, it is not very suitable for solving the situation of serious knotting. The needle comb is relatively thin and has a pointed head, so it is not very suitable for dogs with soft and straight coats like Maltese, because the dog's skin may be scratched accidentally. Therefore, needle combing is more suitable for dogs with hard and loose coats, such as Teddy, Schnauzer, etc.
Needle combs come in different sizes, so you still have to choose a suitable needle comb according to the size of the dog. Usually a very small one is used for small dogs. Dogs or cats come for grooming. When combing dogs, especially larger dogs, it is best to use a needle comb with a metal base plate on the back and a relatively large area.

Like combing from top to bottom. Because the needles of needle combs are generally relatively short, combing upward from the surface of the dog's coat often reaches the root of the dog's hair. However, do not comb straight against the skin, as this will easily cause damage to the dog. Lesions develop on the dog's skin. When using a needle comb, comb the dog's hair layer by layer in reverse order to loosen and scatter the dog's hair layer by layer from the root of the hair, and truly achieve the purpose of combing the dog's hair.

If you use too much force, you can easily prick the dog and cause discomfort to it. , and may cause trauma to it. In addition, we should also be careful not to prick our hands because we have to hold the dog's body or hold the hair in one hand.
