Tips on Grooming Your Dogo Argentino
-
Low Maintenance: Grooming the Dogo is easy because of his short coat, though his large size means it’s a big job. A bath every three months (or when he’s dirty) in a mild dog shampoo is a good idea. Brush his sleek coat with a natural bristle brush or mitt once a week. Use coat conditioner/polish to brighten the sheen.
Why Brush or Groom Your Dogo Argentino?
Brushing also helps 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 decrease the need to bath and therefore decrease the regularity of bathing.
Brushing and grooming of your Dogo Argentino dog are tasks that help to enhance the good relationship bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfortable experience for your pet and you.
How Often to Groom Your Dogo Argentino
Dogs with short coats frequently 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 canines may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.
Pet dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should monitor the condition of their dog's coat, trying to find any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests 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.
