Tips on Grooming Your King Shepherd

    The coat is highly weather-resistant. The King Shepherd should be brushed regularly. Bathe only when necessary.

    Why Brush or Groom Your King Shepherd Dog?

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

    Brushing also assists to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shining coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore minimize the frequency of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your King Shepherd dog are tasks that help to strengthen the positive relationship bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your King Shepherd

    How often to brush and groom your dog will depend 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 more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats usually 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 traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should observe 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.
