    Why Brush or Groom Your Picardy Spaniel Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative component of standard pet care. Combing assists to keep your Picardy Spaniel dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shiny coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore lessen the regularity of bathing.

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

    How Often to Groom Your Picardy Spaniel

    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 frequently 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 easily.

    Some very short-haired canines may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Pet 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 suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
