Abstract

We tested the effects of water spray before brushing dogs' coats, using four Labrador Retrievers. In two of the four Labrador Retrievers, we prepared three kinds of coats: coats without brushing, coats brushed with a rubber brush and coats brushed after spraying water. These coats were observed using a scanning electron microscope. Special attention was placed on the effect of removing dust from the coats. Additionally, we calculated the number of removed hairs from these four Labrador Retrievers (the former two dogs and remaining two dogs), in which the left sides were brushed without water spray and the right sides were brushed after spraying water. <br>The Effects of water spray were verified to enhance removal of dust from the coats, and increase the amount of hair removed by a brush. We confirmed that brushing water sprayed coats has remarkable effects for dog coat care.
