Tips on Grooming Your Spanish Mastiff

    Brush the short, dense coat regularly, especially when the dog is shedding. Keep the ear passages clean.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Spanish Mastiff Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important element of everyday pet care. Brushing helps to keep your Spanish Mastiff dog's coat in good condition by getting rid of loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps 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 minimize the need to bath and therefore lessen the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Spanish Mastiff dog are activities that help to enhance the positive connection bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Spanish Mastiff

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

    Dogs with short coats normally require 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 easily.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Pet dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep track of 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 couple of minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Spanish Mastiff Information

The Spanish Mastiff is a very large and powerful dog, similar in appearance to the other Mastiff breeds. They have a large powerful head and serious and vigilant expression. It has small eyes and drop ears resembling triangles. This dog's coat is most often fawn-colored, but can also be brindle, black or 'wolf' colored. Reddish tones indicate miscegenation.

This noble giant is aloof, dignified, calm and intelligent. It is devoted to its family and may politely accept strangers if it has been socialized properly, although it will be wary of them. It can be aggressive toward other dogs. The Spanish Mastiff may be a less-than-ideal pet in urban situations, where its booming voice and massive size could be problematic. It is a wonderful protector of its home and family. And an ideal protector of herds and flocks from wolf predation. Socialization and training should begin early to ensure this dog a stable and reliable pet. Supervised exposure in puppy-hood to a variety of unfamiliar but non-threatening dogs will help dampen a tendency to aggression toward other dogs. The breed is quite alert and food motivated but can bore easily; training must be consistent and firm but gentle. Once the trainer has established the dog's respect as leader, the Spanish Mastiff will be an extremely loyal pet.
