how to properly use an undercoat rake on a double-coated dog

 

Here are the steps to properly use an undercoat rake on a double-coated dog:


  1. Start by brushing your dog's entire coat with a de-matting rake to remove any tangles or mats.

  2. Use the undercoat rake to remove loose fur from the undercoat of your dog's coat. Hold the rake at a 45-degree angle and use short, gentle strokes to avoid damaging the skin

    .
  3. Work in small sections, starting at the neck and working your way down to the tail. Be sure to pay extra attention to areas where your dog's fur is thickest, such as the chest, legs, and tail

    .
  4. Use a slicker brush or pin brush to remove any remaining loose fur and to distribute natural oils for a healthy sheen

    .


By using an undercoat rake properly, you can help keep your double-coated dog's coat healthy, shiny, and free of tangles and mats. Remember to always prioritize your dog's comfort and safety during grooming sessions, and seek professional help if you're unsure about how to groom your dog properly.
