    Brushing and grooming of your Lagotto Romagnolo dog are activities that help to enhance the positive connection bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Lagotto Romagnolo

    How often to brush and groom your dog will rely on each personal 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 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 canines may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should monitor 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 few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
