Tips on Grooming Your Rottweiler

Low Maintenance: The Rottweiler’s coat sheds moderately — in other words, more than you might think — but requires little grooming. Brush him weekly with a rubber hound mitt or soft bristle brush to keep the hair and skin healthy. In spring and fall, he will have a heavy shed, known as “blowing out” the coat and will need to be brushed more frequently to get rid of all the loose hair.

Why Brush or Groom Your Rottweiler Dog?

Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative component of everyday pet care. Brushing really helps to keep your Rottweiler dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and avoiding 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 reduce the need to bath and therefore lower the occurrence of bathing.

Brushing and grooming of your Rottweiler dog are activities that help to enhance the positive connection 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 Rottweiler

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

Dogs with short coats usually require 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 easily.

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

Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep track of 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 couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
