    Why Brush or Groom Your Schapendoes Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important element of everyday pet care. Combing assists to keep your Schapendoes dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a gleaming coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore lower the frequency of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Schapendoes dog are activities that help to reinforce the positive connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Schapendoes

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend on each individual 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 typically 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 pet dogs may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    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 few minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
