Coat care

The molt
Regardless of the dog's coat type, hairs die, grow, and renew themselves. Dogs living outdoors molt twice a year (spring and autumn) in response to changes in daylight. Dogs living indoors are less exposed to these variations and therefore shed year-round, with two heavier periods in spring and autumn. Daily grooming through brushing and bathing removes dead hair. The frequency and equipment used vary depending on the type of coat.

Short hair
Even though short-haired dogs don't require regular maintenance, brushing once or twice a week is necessary. Using a rubber brush against the grain helps loosen dander and dead hair. To remove these impurities, use a bristle brush in the direction of hair growth all over the dog's body. The brushing will be complete when you buff the coat with a damp chamois cloth.

Short, coarse hair
Due to the density of the coat (the presence of both undercoat and guard hairs), the dog should be brushed every other day. Use a carding brush against the grain to loosen as much hair and dead skin as possible and to thin out the undercoat. A bristle brush used in the direction of hair growth will remove all the loosened material.

A wide-toothed comb can be used on the hair of the tail and paws. The coat of wire-haired dogs should be thinned 4 to 5 times a year using a thinning knife. This allows you to pluck out the dead hairs caught between the knife and your thumb. This plucking is not painful if done correctly, by pulling in the direction of hair growth.

Long hair
Long hair is beautiful, but it requires daily brushing. For Afghan Hounds, for example, this can take up to an hour a day. Brushing in the direction of hair growth with a carding brush helps remove knots and undercoat. Because of the length of the hair, the skin can be pulled when untangling knots; this must be done gently to avoid hurting the dog.

For silky-haired dogs (Yorkshire terrier, Afghan hound, etc.), using a bristle brush helps to polish the coat.

For dogs with abundant undercoat (Scottish Collies...), impurities can be removed with a wire brush.

A wide-toothed comb is used to detangle the hair behind the hocks. A pair of scissors is used to even out the coat length and remove hairs that tend to form knots and trap dirt (hocks, chest, between the toes, and on the paw pads). After each use, clean and store the tools in a dry place. To prevent metal brushes from rusting, wipe them thoroughly and rub them with a cloth coated in vegetable oil.
