Maintenance Brushing Of Your Dog’s Hair Coat: How Often Should You Do It?



Regular brushing removes dead hair, distributes natural oils for a clean and healthy coat, eliminates dead and dry skin, and prevents fur matting and tangling. This is why you should brush your dog's fur every couple of days regardless of his coat's length.


A dog’s need for brushing depends on his hair type, so you have to choose the right brush or comb for your pet. Using the right tool will make grooming a pleasant experience for him.


You can follow these tips to know how often you should brush your dog depending on their coat type:


●Labrador Retrievers and Rottweilers - Top coat is straight or wavy. The undercoat is soft and thin, so you can brush it twice a week.


●Lhasa Apsos, Shih Tzus, Maltese, and Poodles - They have a straight or wavy coat, with a thick, heavy undercoat, so you can brush 3-4 times a week.


Any skin and/or hair coat issue exhibited by your pet should warrant an appointment with a veterinarian Cypress, TX.
