Fine-tooth combs can be used on a dog's face.

• A. They should not be used on a dog's face
• B. They are used only for nails
• C. They are the same as a greyhound comb
• D. They can be used on a dog's face

Answer: (D)

Fine-tooth combs provide precise control for grooming delicate facial areas. Their closely spaced teeth lift and separate fine facial hair, making it easier to remove tiny knots, burrs, and debris around the eyes, muzzle, and whiskers. This helps keep the beard and mustache neat and lets you inspect the skin for irritation or parasites as you comb. When using a fine-tooth comb on the face, use very light pressure, keep the dog’s head steady, and avoid the eye area by angling the comb away from the eyes and working in small sections. They’re not limited to nails, and they’re a different tool from a greyhound comb, which is a separate style used for other coat types. So they can be used on a dog’s face when applied gently and with care.
