Brushing Your Dog
Frequency: At least once a week
How can you tell if you need to brush your dog more frequently?
Brushing Your Dog’s Teeth
Frequency: At least 3 times each week
In an ideal world, you should brush your dog’s teeth every day. This prevents plaque buildup which contributes to bad breath and poor health. At a minimum, you should be brushing your dog’s teeth three times a week and supplementing with dental toys and raw bones to prevent plaque buildup.
Bathing Your Dog
Frequency: Once every 2-3 months
Cutting Your Dog’s Nails
Frequency: 1 x every 3-8 weeks
Cleaning Your Dog’s Ears
Frequency: Inspect regularly, but clean only as needed
Clipping Your Dog’s Coat
Frequency: Once every 2-12 months (depending on breed)
Pay attention to the following factors:
Is your dog unable to see because his hair has grown over his eyes?
Is he experiencing regular tangles in the coat due to length?
Does his coat have mats or other unhealthy patches that need to be removed?
Does your dog have problems with health or cleanliness because of his coat length?
