Vizsla Grooming Tips

Tips on Grooming Your Vizsla

    Low Maintenance: A Vizsla’s grooming routine is about as easy as it gets. Brush the short, smooth coat weekly with a rubber curry brush or a firm bristle brush to distribute skin oils and keep the coat gleaming. Baths are rarely necessary; four to five times a year is plenty.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Vizsla Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important element of general pet care. Combing assists to keep your Vizsla 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, promoting a gleaming coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore reduce the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Vizsla dog are tasks that help to reinforce the good connection bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Vizsla

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

    Dogs with short coats normally 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 dogs may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Pet dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep an eye on 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 few minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
