Hounds Coat - Advice
Permalink Closed

Hi Everyone,


i'm looking for tips to improve my foster dogs coat.


Trei, my foster hound has been with me over 4 weeks. He had a lovely coat when he arrived. But it was a thick kennel coat. Now with the heat over the last 2 weeks he has been shedding it in clumps. I brush him, comb him every day.   He is llokking very moth eaten at mo!    Thick bits and bare bits - But he really enjoys the brushing and combing. ( note new comb today as Cleo ran off and chewed the old comb to bits)  Her coat is now beginning to look good - kennel coat almost gone - think she is jealous now that Trei is getting more grooming.


I plan to shower him tomorrow with a doggie shampoo -


In 2 - 3 weeks he will be looking great - In time for show aghhhhhhhhhhh


Charles

Hi, Charles - I got a top tip from Amanda on here and bought some doggy-wash cloths. They're disposable wipes that can be used on a daily basis. Harry was a bit of state about a month ago, shedding his kennel coat and looking very, very dandruffy. I brushed him every day and always gave him a swish down afterwards with one of these wipes. Now, his coat is all shiney and soft and he's as handsome as handsome can be.

Hi Fiona,


Those cloths sound a good idea  - brushing does bring the dandruff up to the surface.   Trei started shedding his coat quite late  -  Think he feels uncomfortable on the warmer days as a result.


Hopefully he will soon be looking great!!!!     In time for the Gala!
