How to clean your Madan Pin Brushes: 1. Remove as much hair from the cushion of the brush by using the wide side of the comb. 2. Fill the sink with warm water (enough to cover the padding of the brush). Add a tiny drop of baby shampoo or any mild pet shampoo. 3. The brush can be immersed in water for a min or 2. 4. If any debris is left on the cushion, remove with a toothbrush (soft preferred) or q-tips. 5. Rinse with cool water. 6. Take out as much water from the cushion by pushing in on the padding. The 2 holes on the cushion will allow the water to flow out. 7. Leave pin side down on a towel & air dry or blow dry in cool setting. |
LINE BRUSHING Those not familiar w/line brushing: Start w/a section of hair, brushing downwards in layers (horizontally) working your way up. Brushing this way will ensure all the hairs are smoothed & the tangles are worked out. This works best for short to medium length hair. For long hair, start brushing the hair from the end, working your way up. Used together w/line brushing, the end result will be shiny smooth tangle free hair. For best results, please use some sort of conditioning/ detangling spray before brushing to minimize breakage. |
KEEPING A TANGLE FREE COAT High Rubbing Areas: Are areas in the arm pits, inner thighs, belly. Trying to work out a tangle in these areas are not recommended as they're very sensitive parts of the body. You do not want to associate brushing/ grooming time as ouch time. It is best to keep these areas trimmed by shaving or cutting the hair off w/blunt nosed scissors. Some other areas where they tend to tangle are: Head ~ 'Because we love to shake the toys!' Ears ~ 'Because scratching them feels so good!' Rump ~ 'Because we sit on command & still wag our tail so we can get treats!' Tails ~ 'Because we love to wag!' Harness & clothing causes major tangles, don't leave them on for too long without brushing! Pay special attention to these areas when brushing. If you encounter a tangle, line brush & be tangle free! |
SINGLE COATED BREEDS How to tell if your puppy will have silky or thick/ cottony hair: Look at their paws. If it's thin & sparse, s/he will most likely have silky hair that grows slowly. There are those that have what's called 'modified' hair. That's when it's mixed w/silky & cottony hair that tends to be on the thin side. They will tangle in the high rubbing areas. If it's thick & full, s/he will most likely have thick cottony, possibly tangles easily hair that grows fast & hair doesn't shine. There are also those with thick silky hair that doesn't tangle easily, their hair shines. |
