Tips on Grooming Your Braque du Bourbonnais

    The Braque du Bourbonnais do not require a lot of grooming. They need to keep their nails trimmed and their coat bathed when necessary. They shed minimally.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Braque du Bourbonnais Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential element of general pet care. Combing helps to keep your Braque du Bourbonnais dog's coat in good condition by getting rid of loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a glossy coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore decrease the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Braque du Bourbonnais dog are activities that help to strengthen the good relationship bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Braque du Bourbonnais

    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 more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats generally 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 quickly.

    Some very short-haired canines may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
