Tips on Grooming Your Bohemian Shepherd

    Low maintenance, despite the long hair. Normal shedding in the summer, of course, as would be expected with any other shepherd type.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Bohemian Shepherd Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential element of general pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Bohemian Shepherd dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a gleaming coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore reduce the frequency of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Bohemian Shepherd dog are tasks that help to strengthen the positive connection bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Bohemian Shepherd

    How often to brush and groom your dog will rely on each individual dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats frequently require much less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more quickly.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep track of the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
