Fort Wayne Dog Groomer

Our Fort Wayne Dog Groomer told us about the importance of being very careful with our dog when we were grooming and brushing him. Apparently we were causing our dog to have brush burns on his skin due to the fact that we were brushing and combing his coat and it caused him to have red irritated patches of skin on two places of his body which was his stomach and his sheath. Our Fort Wayne Dog Groomer told us that it was good that we were worried about keeping our dog groomed and looking nice but that it would be necessary to learn to stop brushing above the dog's skin level and brush upwards and outwards instead of scraping at the poor dog's skin. He told us that usually dog's that have lighter colored skin tend to have more sensitive skin than those with darker skin. He also mentioned that on dogs with sensitive skin hot dryers, can sometimes irritate their skin and cause it to become red and irritated as well. You should never use a hot dryer on a dog anyway as it is as you might end up hurting the dog and the dog won't appreciate it one bit. When blow-drying a dog with a dryer it's always best to use it on a moderate setting. Some very professional Fort Wayne Dog Groomers believe that the strong force of the blowing air that causes friction dries the coat better than hot temperatures, in other words, you don't need to have a hot blow dryer to dry the dog's coat. In our case we were told to stop brushing at our dog's coat the way we were so that the dog's skin could recover back to its normal state.
