Tips on Grooming Your Mastiff

    Low Maintenance: The Mastiff’s short coat is easy to care for. Brush it with a rubber curry brush at least weekly -- daily, if you want. The brush removes dead hairs that would otherwise end up on your floor, furniture and clothing.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Mastiff Dog?

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

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

    Brushing and grooming of your Mastiff dog are activities that help to enhance the positive connection bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Mastiff

    How often to brush and groom your dog will rely 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 commonly 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 conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as needed'. 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 few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Mastiff Information

The massive mastiff is heavy-boned with a powerful musculature, being slightly longer than tall. It combines great strength with endurance. Its power and strength are evident in its gait, which should have good reach and drive. Its double coat consists of a dense undercoat and a straight, coarse, outer coat of moderately short length. Its expression is alert but kindly. The overall impression should be one of grandeur and dignity.

The mastiff is innately good-natured, calm, easygoing and surprisingly gentle. It is a well-mannered house pet, but it needs sufficient room to stretch out. This is an extremely loyal breed, and though not excessively demonstrative, it is devoted to its family and good with children.
