【Expert answer】
Any Q

What happens if I don't brush my dog?

If you don't groom your dog, dead skin and dirt are going to pile up on their coat. When you brush your dog, you're not only helping keep their coat healthy and glossy, you're also helping remove dead skin and dirt as well as dead fur and dandruff.

Do dogs feel better after brushing?

Regular grooming relaxes the dog who's used to it, and it becomes a special time that you can both share. A coat free of mats, burrs and tangles and skin free of fleas and ticks are as comfortable to your dog as fresh, clean clothes are to you. It makes you feel good, and the effect is the same for your pet.

Do dogs need regular brushing?

Brushing your dog regularly not only keeps his coat looking good, it helps release dead hair, cuts down on excess shedding, removes mats, and distributes the natural oils in the skin to keep your dog healthy. To make brushing safe and comfortable, teach your dog the stand command.

Is it better to brush or comb a dog?

While many may believe that only brushing is necessary for any dog, combing your dog's hair is essential to the process as well. While brushing only helps with the top layer of your dog's coat, combing gets through the roots of your dog's coat which leads to their skin.
