    Why Brush or Groom Your Blue Lacy Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an important element of everyday pet care. Combing assists to keep your Blue Lacy 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 shiny coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore lower the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Blue Lacy dog are activities that help to reinforce the good relationship bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Blue Lacy

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

    Dogs with short coats usually 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 dogs may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead 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, trying to find any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
