Kihei Veterinary Clinic: Dogs, Dogs, Dogs... Brushing and Bathing Tips.

Just like us, dogs and puppies not only need physical maintenance for appearance, but also to help them feel their best. Luckily, dogs do not need to bathe as often as people do, but you should understand how grooming your dog needs to be keep on a routine schedule.

Please take note:

Younger puppies don't require baths unless they get into something they shouldn't. Time spent soft brushing or just grooming with your fingernails will connect your pup to this learned routine. Below are some general guidelines to follow for your dogs routine grooming depending upon their breed and hair type.

A dog’s minimum brushing needs depend on his or her breed . Choose from a variety of appropriate tools and supplies sold at Kihei Veterinary Clinic, and follow these guidelines based on your dogs hair type.

Long-haired dogs usually require daily brushing to prevent matting and tangling of hair.
Medium-haired dogs are also prone to matting and tangles and should be brushed weekly.
