    Why Brush or Groom Your Lapponian Herder Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative part of everyday pet care. Brushing helps to keep your Lapponian Herder dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shiny coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore decrease the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Lapponian Herder dog are tasks that help to reinforce the positive connection bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Lapponian Herder

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

    Dogs with short coats frequently 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 easily.

    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 delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

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