The bristles can maintain the luster of the coat, remove waste hairs, clean the skin, and promote blood circulation. The length of the bristles of the brush must be selected according to the breed of dog, and the order of brushing the bristles is the same as combing. Hair plucking is a frequently used grooming method for wire-haired dogs. Plucking out waste hair can stimulate the hair roots and grow stronger new hair. Shaving is used on certain breeds, where the hair is shaved off with a razor.

In order to make the dog's face look more majestic, ear amputation is often performed on some dog breeds. The best time for ear amputation is when the puppies are two to three months old. During the ear amputation, the dog is given general anesthesia and cotton plugs are inserted into the ears. Determine the location of the broken ear according to the dog breed standards, and remove the outer edge of the ear along the determined location. The tip of the ear is pulled against the head and then bandaged. The bandage can be removed two to three days after the operation, and the wound is treated according to routine. Tail docking surgery can make the dog's appearance beautiful and life convenient.

Usually, dogs have only four toes on their hind limbs, and sometimes there are extra toes on the inner back. This is because dogs originated from wolves, so they are also called wolf toes.
