Tips on Grooming Your Fila Brasileiro
-
The Fila Brasileiro requires very little grooming. Brush the short smooth coat with a firm bristle brush occasionally. Wiping the coat of the Fila Brasileiro with a piece of towel or chamois will give the coat a healthy glow. Bathe the Fila Brasileiro only when necessary.
Why Brush or Groom Your Fila Brasileiro Dog?
Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a gleaming coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore lessen the frequency of bathing.
Brushing and grooming of your Fila Brasileiro dog are activities that help to enhance the good relationship bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfy experience for your pet and you.
How Often to Groom Your Fila Brasileiro
Dogs with short coats normally 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 easily.
Some very short-haired canines may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.
Pet dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep track of 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 several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
