How Do You Choose Grooming Supplies For A Schnoodle Dog?
Schnoodle dogs, a schnauzer and poodle mixture, inherit fur that is a cross between two breeds. Schnoodle coats range from a soft, wavy fur to a coarse, curly coat. Whatever the combination, most schnoodles have low maintenance fur. You can groom your schnoodle dog at home with the right grooming supplies. Here is a guide to help you select quality grooming tools. Determine your schnoodle dog’s fur type. Examine the fur to see if the strand texture is fine or coarse. Fine fur has thin strands and feels silky. Coarse fur is thick in diameter and may feel soft, rough or wiry. The texture and the degree of curl or wave in the schnoodle’s coat determine the type of grooming tool needed. Select a slicker brush with smooth, tapered ends to avoid scratches. Many schnoodles have a fine, wavy coat. Fine fur requires a slicker brush with gentle metal pins designed for sensitive skin. If your schnoodle has a coarse coat or a lot of curls, use a regular slicker brush with stiff metal pins. Before
