Tips on Grooming Your Keeshond
-
High Maintenance: Because of their double coat, Keeshonden need regular brushing; an hour a week will keep the dog comfortable and handsome. The Keeshond's coat sheds dirt when dry, and the breed is not prone to doggy odor, so frequent bathing is unnecessary and undesirable.
Why Brush or Groom Your Keeshond Dog?
Brushing also serves to help to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shining coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to reduce the need to bath and therefore minimize the occurrence of bathing.
Brushing and grooming of your Keeshond dog are tasks that help to reinforce the positive connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfy experience for your pet and you.
How Often to Groom Your Keeshond
Dogs with short coats normally 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 quickly.
Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.
Dogs 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 few minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
