What are the commonly used pet grooming tools?
Pet grooming tools are generally divided into twelve categories: pet hair dyeing agent, pet hair dyeing brush, pet needle comb, pet universal comb, seven-inch straight scissors, pet electric scissors, five-inch straight scissors, curved scissors, nail scissors, tooth scissors, lathe comb, knot comb, etc. I will introduce to you the specific uses and usage of the above categories of pet grooming tools. I hope it will be helpful to all pet enthusiasts.
dyeing brush
This is a special product for the convenience of pet hair dyeing. One end is a beveled edge, which is used to dye the pet's hair with hair dyeing agent, and the other end is a comb. After dyeing the hair, the hair can be combed to allow the color to penetrate faster.
Universal Comb
This is the most commonly used pet combing tool. You can tell by the name. It is suitable for all kinds of dogs, but it is mainly used for daily combing. A metal comb can easily comb some dead hair off. At the same time, the combing of this universal comb is also very dense, which is relatively more suitable for pets' fine and long hair characteristics.
Needle comb
is different from universal combs. This needle comb has a higher density and a thinner comb. This is specially designed for competition dogs to comb fluffy hair. It is suitable for the time period for competition dogs to change their hair, because the newly grown hair is still quite soft at this time. If you use a universal comb metal comb to comb, although it can cause the dead hair to fall off as soon as possible, it is also easy to bring down many newly grown hair and damage the roots. Combing your hair with this gentler needle comb can make the new hair of the competition dog grow healthier.
7-inch straight scissors
Use electric scissors to create an overall hairstyle for pets. As for details, you can use this seven-inch straight scissors, which is the most commonly used tool for many pet hairstylists. It is sharper than ordinary straight scissors, and the gaps between the edges are also neat. This is because the requirements for cutting the hairstyle for pets are higher, and the hair quality of pets is thinner and looser, so ordinary scissors are difficult to cut.
This seven-inch straight shear is made of pure steel, and is equipped with a scissor box with cleaning oil inside. Don’t forget to use it to clean the knife edge after each use. However, since it is an imported product, it is priced relatively high and is only sold in some professional pet stores.
Pet electric clipping
Just like people need to trim their hairstyles regularly, pet hair care is also the most critical point. If care is not good, those long-haired dogs will not only not be able to be chic, but will also look very messy and sloppy.
It is best to use pet electric clippers when trimming hair. Although its appearance is similar to that of barber shop electric clippers, because pet hair is thinner, the knife head of this pet electric clipper has a higher density and sharper blade. When using it, just push the switch on the side and the hairdresser can introduce various hairstyles for the baby dog.
This type of electric shear can be charged. Since it is made of alloy material, it can be washed with water after use, which is very convenient and durable.
Five-inch straight scissors
are just specially designed to match the seven-inch straight scissors. They are used for trimming in some detailed parts. They are smaller in size and easier to control. For example, trimming some fluff on the head or feet can be used.
Bent shears
Bent shears are also a special function scissors, which are used for designing poodles, because the tails of these breeds need to be cut into a circle, so the hair must be curled when trimming. It is difficult for ordinary scissors to do this, but the structure of curved shears can be useful at this time. The edges of the
curved shears are also quite sharp and require higher density than straight shears, because they deal with the trimming of the most detailed parts.
Nail cutters are of course used for pet nail trimming. Just like humans, animals have too long nails, which are prone to bacterial infections, because long-term walking brings some dirty things into their nails, and pets have the habit of licking their nails, which causes the consequences of illness from their mouths. On the other hand, kittens and puppies' nails are too long, which can force them to grind themselves, which may cause damage to valuables in the home.
The nails are cut short but very sharp, and come in different sizes, and are divided into cat and dog cut.
Tooth scissors
Don't think that they are used to cut pet bad teeth. In fact, this kind of scissors has this name because they have a comb on one side. The function of tooth scissors is to trim the layering feeling of hair during final shape. When trimming, it is generally done with straight scissors first, and then use tooth scissors to remove the cut marks of the scissors.
For a pet stylist, whether you can use teeth cuts well is a very critical step.
Combing the puppy's hair is the obligation of every owner. Especially for competition dogs, pay special attention to whether their hair is neat before the competition. Sometimes your dog's hair is messed up and they will lick it neatly with their tongues and are prone to disease, so you should help them comb it regularly.
The row comb handle specially designed for pets looks particularly long because this is specially designed for those long-haired dogs. When using it, you can easily comb your pet's hair by holding it horizontally. The handle of this row of combs is made of metal and is very strong. The knot comb is specially designed for those long-haired dogs, but there are also some unhygienic puppies who often run around outside. Their hair is also too heavy to be contaminated with dust, so such knots are not something that ordinary combs can be combed open. This kind of knot comb can be used at this time. Although its shape is a bit like a harpoon, its comb's hair is much sharper. When used, the owner just needs to put the comb into the dead knot, and the jagged comb's hair can immediately cut the interface. Moreover, in order to avoid accidentally hurting the pet during use, the quick mouth of the knot comb is designed on the inside and cannot touch the pet's skin.
