    How Often to Groom Your German Pinscher

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend on each personal 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 contrasted 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 canines may not need traditional '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 monitor the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
