Tips on Grooming Your Griffon bleu de Gascogne

Low Maintenance: Grooming is only necessary once in a while to maintain upkeep.

Why Brush or Groom Your Griffon bleu de Gascogne Dog?

Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential part of general pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Griffon bleu de Gascogne dog's coat in good condition by getting rid of loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

Brushing also helps to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a gleaming coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore minimize the regularity of bathing.

Brushing and grooming of your Griffon bleu de Gascogne dog are tasks that help to reinforce the positive relationship bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.



How Often to Groom Your Griffon bleu de Gascogne

How often to brush and groom your dog will rely on each individual dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their 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 canines may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should monitor the condition of their dog's coat, trying to find 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.
