Tips on Grooming Your Jamthund

    Regular brushing is necessary to keep the dense undercoat from matting. Bathing should not be done too often because it tends to dry out the weather-resistant coat.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Jamthund Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential part of general pet care. Combing assists to keep your Jamthund dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help 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 lessen the need to bath and therefore reduce the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Jamthund dog are activities that help to reinforce the positive connection bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Jamthund

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend on each individual dog. Dogs tend to differ 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 much 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 standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep track of 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 couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
