Believe it or not, dogs like being brushed! Brushing your dog’s fur will help to maintain a healthy coat. Depending on the type of fur your dog has, brushing needs will vary.
- If your dog has a long coat of fur, daily brushing is recommended to prevent matting or tangling.
- If your dog has medium length fur, it should be brushed weekly.
- If your dog has a short coat, you can go up to once a month in between brushing.
However, you can still brush your dog’s fur daily, regardless of the fur type. Also, brushing more frequently will help to prevent excess shedding.
