    Why Brush or Groom Your Stabyhoun Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important element of everyday pet care. Combing assists to keep your Stabyhoun dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shiny coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore reduce the frequency of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Stabyhoun dog are activities that help to strengthen the good connection bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Stabyhoun

    How often 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 latest 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 dogs may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should monitor the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
