    Brushing and grooming of your Puggle dog are tasks that help to strengthen the good relationship bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Puggle

    How often to brush and groom your dog will depend upon each individual dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats normally require much 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 quickly.

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

    Pet dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep an eye on 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 several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
