Tips on Grooming Your Boxer

Low Maintenance: A soft bristle brush will help keep the coat in good condition. An occasional bath, especially if they are dirty from romping in the outdoors will also keep them looking their best. Their strong nails should be trimmed regularly with a nail clipper or grinder to avoid overgrowth, splitting and cracking. Their ears should be checked regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris which can result in an infection. Teeth should be brushed regularly.

Why Brush or Groom Your Boxer Dog?

Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative part of standard pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Boxer dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

Brushing also helps to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shining coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore lower the regularity of bathing.

Brushing and grooming of your Boxer dog are tasks that help to enhance the good connection bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.



How Often to Groom Your Boxer

How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend 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 typically require much less brushing and grooming contrasted to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

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 delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, looking 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.
