Shih Tzu Cute We love the furry cuties
If you have decided to groom your dog at home, you are one of the more courageous dog owners out there. Grooming your shih tzu is not as difficult as it may seem but you will surely struggle a bit when it comes to trimming the face of your beloved furball. If you wish to trim your shih tzu’s face in the easiest and most efficient way possible, here are some of the tips that you try on your next grooming session.
- Wash his face.
Of course, the first thing that you should do is to wash your dog’s face. You can just simply wash it water but for best results, we recommend that you opt for a gentle dog shampoo. Make sure that you have rinsed the shampoo well. After that, pat the fur dry. Avoid rubbing the towel in your dog’s face as this may lead to tangles.
- Brush the face.
The next step would be to brush the hair in your shih tzu’s face. This is done to remove any tangles and of course, to get rid of any food particles or dirt stuck in the facial area.
- Make him feel comfortable.
Keep in mind that grooming can be a stressful experience to your dog. He may squirm while he is at your lap, especially if he has some traumatic experiences at the groomers. To make him feel comfortable, try to place the scissors near his ears and make some cutting noises. In this way, he will be familiar with the sounds and he will not be that afraid of it.
- Use thinning scissors.
This is the best type of scissors to use for the face because this leaves a more natural and even look.
With proper knowledge and the right tools, you can surely be able to trim your shih tzu’s face without any hassles!
