    High Maintenance: Grooming should be performed often to keep the dog's coat in good shape. Professional groomers can be sought after for assistance. No trimming or stripping needed.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Lhasa Apso Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important component of standard pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Lhasa Apso dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

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

    Brushing and grooming of your Lhasa Apso dog are activities that help to strengthen the positive relationship 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 Lhasa Apso

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend upon each personal 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 typically 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 dogs may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

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