Tips on Grooming Your Great Dane

    Low Maintenance: The Great Dane has a short, thick, smooth coat. It sheds moderately -- in other words, more than you might think -- but requires little grooming.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Great Dane Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential part of standard pet care. Brushing assists to keep your Great Dane dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a glossy coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore decrease the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Great Dane dog are tasks that help to reinforce the good connection bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Great Dane

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

    Dogs with short coats typically 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 quickly.

    Some very short-haired canines 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, searching 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.
