Breeds like the Irish Setter, Lhasa Apso, the Afghan or the Yorkshire Terrier to shine in the truest sense of the word with her silky coat dress. But such beauty comes at a price: long silky fur means the most maintenance. Regular combing to remove loose hair, is essential. Some dogs with this Fellart should be trimmed regularly – such as the Yorkshire Terrier and the Maltese. Very dense hair on the paws and ears should be trimmed, because here otherwise accumulate dirt and bacteria can settle. Also, the long hairs on the eyes should be carefully cut with a rounded scissors, because they irritate the conjunctiva and cornea of ??the eye on the time-sensitive and can obstruct the dog’s point of view.
Dog Grooming in rough-haired dogs
The maintenance of rough-haired dogs – such as Dachshund, or West Highland White Terrier – requires a little more time. These dogs have a lot of undercoat. So the fur does not dull, it should be updated regularly with a Slicker Brush. This special brush to selectively pluck fur from the undercoat and leaves shiny, well-groomed hair. Again it should only be gently brushed against and then with the grain. The regular trimming or shearing is also often useful in these dogs. The same applies also to attract and curly-haired dogs like the poodle. Since these dogs do not get into the skin change, they are somewhat easier to maintain than other breeds.

Like every other pets too, need our care and little Lowchen something always properly care for healthy and as beautiful as they are to remain on the purchase.Have a great advantage in this respect, but in any case, the Lowchen in comparison with other long-haired animals. The coat needs no special benefits. Be even brushed it does not necessarily need to skin care – which is not to say that one must not brush the animals if they like it and enjoy.
While shedding is still a daily brush holder for rabbits and a relief. Should nevertheless times a node or tangles in the coat can occur quite easily removed with a comb.
In very stubborn “Zippeln” has been shown in my Persian cat, that it is a careful removal with scissors feels more comfortable than the comb. For this I am a children’s scissors – this one has a rounded top – and very carefully cut out the knots.
The most difficult part of all care is probably cut the claws.
First, the question arises, when cut. A rough recommendation here is that the nails should not protrude significantly above the fur on the paws.
Now faced with the decision, do you do it yourself or you can go to the vet?
Here I can only recommend such a thing who has never been done before and have not yet shown exactly has it should be possible to show definitely the vet once.

What happens in the joints
The harmonious and elegant movements of the cat are the result of a perfectly coordinated interplay of muscles and nerves, bones and tendons, ligaments and joints. The joints, the joints between the bones are rigid, while the focal points for each movement; they do are taut connective tissue surrounding the joint capsule, which stabilizes the joint.
The bone ends meet in the joint are covered with a cartilage. The full-elastic cartilage serves as a kind of “shock absorber”, which allows high pressure and short-term loads, such as the placement will be cushioned after the jump. The surface of the cartilage is smooth so that the bones can move smoothly against each other. The lubricity of the cartilage is increased by the synovial fluid, the synovial fluid, yet. This viscous liquid is formed by a thin layer of cells of the synovial membrane that lines the joint capsule, tight inside. The synovial fluid also provides the supply of nutrients to the articular cartilage safe, because the cartilage is not perfused. That the tissue is not perfused, has incidentally also has serious consequences for the healing process after injury. A once-damaged cartilage can not be fully restored.
