The coat will benefit from occasional brushings.

Why Brush or Groom Your Carpathian Sheepdog?

Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an important part of everyday pet care. Brushing really helps to keep your Carpathian Sheepdog dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

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

Brushing and grooming of your Carpathian Sheepdog dog are tasks that help to reinforce the positive relationship bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfy experience for your pet and you.



How Often to Groom Your Carpathian Sheepdog

How often 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 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 dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

Pet dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should observe 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 few minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
