    Brushing and grooming of your Welsh Terrier dog are activities that help to reinforce the positive connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Welsh Terrier

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend 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 latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats frequently 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 dogs 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 needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, looking for 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.
