Tips on Grooming Your Chinese Crested

    Moderate Maintenance: Grooming should be performed regularly to keep its fur in good shape. No trimming or stripping needed.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Chinese Crested Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential component of standard pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Chinese Crested dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shining coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore minimize the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Chinese Crested dog are activities that help to strengthen the positive connection bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Chinese Crested

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

    Dogs with short coats commonly require 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 dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Pet dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep track of the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates 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.
