Tips on Grooming Your Pumi

    Moderate Maintenance: The coat of the Pumi is easy to groom. The braided, medium-length coat does not mat easily. An occasional combing and brushing will keep it looking nice. Remove excess hair from inside the ears. Showing the dog requires special grooming.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Pumi Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential part of general pet care. Combing assists to keep your Pumi dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

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

    Brushing and grooming of your Pumi dog are tasks that help to strengthen the good connection bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Pumi

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend on each personal dog. Dogs tend to contrast 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 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 pet dogs may not need traditional '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, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates 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.
