Grooming your 'dog
by Pr. Bob Friendship
Taking care of the skin and hair coat is an
important part of maintaining the general
health and appearance of a pet dOg. People
contemplating purchasing a dog should
consider the time and expense of grooming
long haired and .wire • haired breeds before
- making their .choice of a pet, The hair coat
does reflect general'health and there can be
many reasons for a shabby or dull appearance
such as systemic disease or parasitism, but
too often the reason for an unkempt coat Is
neglect.
Therefore, the first principle of grooming is
to spend some time each day with your pet
rather than allow the situation to get out of
hand. It is far easier to brush out a few small
knots than to struggle with a matted dog for
hours.
Mother way in which this chore of
looming can be made more pleasurable is by
starting early to 'train the young dog to
co-operate with the routine of brushing and
bathing. In addition, the proper tools make
any job easier.
A list of essential grooming equipment
would include combs, brushes, nail clippers
and file, towels, cotton, and swab sticks. One
might also need shampoo, • car' cleaning
solution, hair lotion and flea spray,
Bathing
An inevitable part of grooming is bathing;
the frequency of which will depend upon the
breed and the individuals need, Bathing too
often may result in a dry, dull hair coat.
Prier to bathing. a number of procedures
should be undertaken. Firstly -Abe nails
-should- be-elipped and filed and the teeth
scaled of any tartar build' up. Hair should be
removed from the ear canal and as cotton swab
cbampened with alcohol may be used to
remove waxy exudate. Futhermore, cotton
should be placed in the ear to block the
entrance of soap and water during bathing.
Boric acid or a mild ointment should be..uscd
to protect the dogs eyes from soapy water.
Comb
Finally, comb the dog and remove any mats
1. before wetting the coat. Wet the coat
thoroughly and apply a bland coconut-oil
shampoo or detergent that is expecially made
fir dogs.
The lather should be rubbed into short hair.
but should be squeezed into the long hair coat
to prevent matting problems. it is important to
rinse the shampoo out thoroughly. .
Mats may present a real problem to the
gt•oomer. If they cannot be teased apart even
tr.s• slitting them with a khifc the animal may
need to be given a general anesthetic and a
close clipping.
Tar and Paint
Tar and paint also make combing and
crushing difficult. Small deposits may be
allowed to harden and than cut away, but
larger tar masses should be soaked in
vegetable oil for 24 hours and then washed out
with soap and water. Never use paint remover
or turpentine!
Finally, any article dealing with bathing
dogs should make mention of the amnia!,
prohle.mof removing skunk odour from a dogs •
hair coat. The old method of bathing in tomato
juice is very effective but messy. A soap and
water-bat:l1:aa.ad-.4t_ritme,with.
water is possibly the best way to ameliorate
the condition.

are most affected by the
inadequacies and injustices of the
way things work now. ,
'The People's Food Commission
believe that the people directly
involved in growing, processing,
transporting. selling, cooking and
eating food should ask the
questions. Inthe sharing of our
experiences we might find ways-
