Irish Setters have beautiful coats, making them among the most beautiful dogs. The hair on their forelegs and heads comes in fine, mahogany/rich chestnut, and their entire body is covered with long, straight hair. Their ears, forelegs, tails, and thighs have long and silky feathering, while their chests and bellies have fringes. Meanwhile, show dogs should have trimmed hairs emphasizing their neck, head, and foot's natural outline.
Daily brushing is necessary to maintain the coat's shine and keep it tangle-free. Remember to check your dog for any burr/debris when he spends the day outdoors. On the other hand, bathing can be done a few times each year or when he rolled somewhere stinky. However, they may have some baths anytime you want, especially if they perform at dog shows. But keep in mind that dog shampoos should be used to prevent the coat/skin from drying out.
Any skin and/or hair coat issue exhibited by your pet should warrant an appointment with your pet clinic Lexington, KY.
