Tips on Grooming Your Saarloos wolfdog

    The weather-resistant coat of the Saarlooswolfhond should be combed and brushed regularly. Bathe only when necessary as it removes the natural oils in the skin.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Saarloos wolfdog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative component of everyday pet care. Brushing helps to keep your Saarloos wolfdog dog's coat in good condition by getting rid of loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

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

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

    How Often to Groom Your Saarloos wolfdog

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend upon 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 typically 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 traditional '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 needed'. Owners should keep track of 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 few minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
