Tips on Grooming Your Hamilton Hound

Low Maintenance: Grooming is only necessary once in a while to maintain upkeep. No trimming or stripping needed.

Why Brush or Groom Your Hamilton Hound Dog?

Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential part of general pet care. Brushing helps to keep your Hamilton Hound dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

Brushing also serves to help to distribute 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 minimize the need to bath and therefore lower the frequency of bathing.

Brushing and grooming of your Hamilton Hound dog are tasks that help to reinforce the positive relationship bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfy experience for your pet and you.



How Often to Groom Your Hamilton Hound

How often 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 usually require much less brushing and grooming compared 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 delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

Pet dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep an eye on 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 few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
