Grooming basics

Brush, bathe, trim.

4 min read

Regular grooming keeps the coat and skin healthy and lets you spot problems early.

Basics

  • Brush as often as your dog's coat needs
  • Bathe with dog shampoo when dirty, not too often
  • Trim nails every few weeks; listen for clicking on the floor
  • Check ears and clean only if your vet advises
  • Check for lumps, ticks and skin changes as you groom
