Tips on Grooming Your Brussels Griffon

    High Maintenance: Grooming should be performed often to keep the dog's coat in good shape. Professional groomers can be sought after for assistance. No trimming or stripping needed.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Brussels Griffon Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative component of standard pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Brussels Griffon dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding 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 minimize the need to bath and therefore lower the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Brussels Griffon dog are tasks that help to strengthen the good connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Brussels Griffon

    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 more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats commonly 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 traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, searching for 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.
