Types of Dog Hair
Different hair types require different care, so to provide the best care possible for your dog, you must first determine what type of coat he has. Follow these links for specific descriptions of each hair type and the grooming requirements for each: In addition, dogs with certain physical features (skin folds, floppy ears, dental issues, etc.) will need special attention, so before beginning to groom, take note of your dog's features.
