If your dog has a lot of undercoat\u00a0 and you shave it, you may notice it looks rather uneven. This is because you didn’t remove the undercoat – you simply cut it short. It’s loose and ready to card out, and carding will smooth out the lumps.<\/p>\n

ed to remove undercoat by carding and brushing it out. If you leave it, you end up with a packed coat that is uncomfortable for the dog. This is why brushing and combing your dog is so important. Carding the coat after clipping it smoothes out any unevenness and cleans the hair follicles of dead hair.<\/p>\n
Carding also helps remove the hair that a brush and comb just can’t get. There are a number of tools you can use for carding.<\/p>\n
Carding Tools<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nYou can use a stripping knife or shedding tool. Be gentle when carding so you don’t scrape your dog’s skin. The hair should come out very easily; this will help open up the hair follicles and keep your dog’s skin in top condition. You can card the coat before the bath, but the bath itself may also help remove excess undercoat.<\/p>\n
Don’t Get Carried Away<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nThese tools in the wrong hands can do some damage. The main thing you must remember is not to scrape the skin.<\/p>\n
You need to be careful around any lumps, bumps, or warts on the dog’s skin. Periodically check your dog’s skin to make sure you aren’t making it red. Carding takes some practice to get it right, and it’s easy to make mistakes and overdo it, scratching the dog inadvertently.<\/p>\n
If you do scratch or irritate the skin, you need to apply a soothing spray such as Eqyss Micro-tek Spray, which is nontoxic and available online at retailers.<\/p>\n
The Importance of Carding Dogs
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nCarding coats is important to many breeds because it helps rid the hair follicles of excess undercoat hairs, which tend to plug up the hair follicle and end up creating blackheads and sores. By keeping the hair follicles unplugged and open, the skin is healthier, and in turn, the hair is healthier as well.<\/p>\n
Carding also gets you up close and personal to your dog’s skin and coat. You’ll find any issues sooner rather than later, and you can keep on top of it.<\/p>\n
Important!<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\nYour dog can be really enjoying the carding, putting his head in the air and really enjoying the scratch, but when you look closely, you see reddened scratched skin that may even bleed a bit.<\/p>\n
It’s easy to use a little too much pressure when you are seeing results. In the case of carding, more is not better. Use short, light strokes all over the dog’s body while holding the skin taut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
