The tools following help to keep your dog healthy.

Hairbrush:  If your dog has short hair, choose soft comb with medium size to keep his hair in good state. The dog will be comfortable if you comb his hair to hair growing direction. If the dog has long hair, first use a comb to unravel and then use bard brush.  

Importantly, use appropriate hairbrush. The best brush is brush with soft leather that is in between hairbrush which is especially soft. It is popularly used in any dog fair and harden hairbrush which is available in any pet shops. Natural hairbrush is also good but it cannot remove falling hair out as good as leathered hairbrush. If the dog hair is very untidy, a hairbrush with curve out which is like leathered brush will be able to unravel the hair better than leathered one. You also should buy a comb with large spaced line and narrowed line in combination.

One advantage for regular care is that it can decrease amount of falling hair sticking on carpet or sofa. Some breeds of dogs such as German shepherd, Norwegian Oldhouse, Collie, and Pomeranian have two layers of hair. The lower layer is very soft and it keeps the falling hair. Hard hairbrush helps to comb hair out and prevents it to stick with cloth or furniture.

Scissor: In some breed of dog such as Puddle and Lasa alpso need trimming of around eyes area’s hair to prevent eye’s irritation or infection from dust being held. Moreover, you have to use hair trimming scissor around dog’s anal to prevent infection and irritation too.

Nail cutter: It is important to trim nails that do not shorten naturally because of insufficient of doing exercise. Do not use scissor for human to use with dogs. Use scissors especially for dogs from pet shops.

Shampoo: Tools used for dog care consist of shampoo especially made for dogs because human shampoo is too strong for dog’s skin.
