    Why Brush or Groom Your Sealyham Terrier Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential part of general pet care. Combing helps to keep your Sealyham Terrier dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

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

    Brushing and grooming of your Sealyham Terrier dog are tasks that help to strengthen the positive connection bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Sealyham Terrier

    How often to brush and groom your dog will depend on each personal 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 usually 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 quickly.

    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 delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, trying to find 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.
