Tips on Grooming Your Lancashire Heeler

This breed is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush, and bathe only when necessary. The coat is seasonably long or short. In the wintertime the coat is plush with a visible mane and in the summer it has a sleek, shiny coat.

Why Brush or Groom Your Lancashire Heeler Dog?

Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an important element of standard pet care. Combing helps to keep your Lancashire Heeler dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

Brushing also helps to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a glossy coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to reduce the need to bath and therefore minimize the frequency of bathing.

Brushing and grooming of your Lancashire Heeler dog are activities that help to enhance the good connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfortable experience for your pet and you.



How Often to Groom Your Lancashire Heeler

How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend on each personal 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 generally 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 easily.

Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need traditional '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 needed'. Owners should monitor the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
