Why Brush or Groom Your Mountain Feist Dog?

Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an important element of everyday pet care. Combing helps to keep your Mountain Feist dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

Brushing also helps to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shining coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore lower the regularity of bathing.

Brushing and grooming of your Mountain Feist dog are activities that help to reinforce the good connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.



How Often to Groom Your Mountain Feist

How frequent to brush and groom your dog will rely 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 latest 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 canines may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

Dogs should be brushed 'as required'. 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.
