Grooming Tips

How Often

How often you have to groom your dog will depend on the dog's specific needs. All dogs can be brushed daily. This only needs to take 5-10 minutes per session and should be viewed as a pleasant activity that you and your dog share. Bathing should be done on an "as needed" basis, which can be judged by the appearance, odor and the feel of the hair. In many cases you can bathe your dog as infrequently as twice a year. If he has fleas, ticks or any type of skin allergies he may need a bath more often.

Any between-bath grooming that is needed will depend on your dog's coat. Longer hair requires more attention. Sometimes you may need to do some clipping to remove extra hair from around the eyes, ears and feet, or to remove hair mats.

How often you will need to cut your dog's toenails will depend on how much outdoor exercise he gets, [ Comb and Brush ]

the more he is outside the less you'll need to clip his nails. The correct length for the nails is just touching the ground.

The frequency of teeth cleaning depends on the amount of plaque build-up your dog has on his teeth, but can be done as often as twice a week. Ears should be cleaned once a month to remove dirt and wax.
