Tips on Grooming Your Polish Hunting Dog

Low Maintenance

Why Brush or Groom Your Polish Hunting Dog?

Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an important component of standard pet care. Combing assists to keep your Polish Hunting Dog dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

Brushing also serves to help to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shining coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore lower the occurrence of bathing.

Brushing and grooming of your Polish Hunting Dog dog are activities that help to reinforce the positive relationship bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and relaxed experience for your pet and you.



How Often to Groom Your Polish Hunting Dog

How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend 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 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 dogs 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.

Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep an eye on the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates 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.
