Brushing

Regular brushing prevents mats and reduces shedding. Brush short-coated dogs weekly and long-coated dogs daily.

Bathing

Most dogs need a bath every 4-6 weeks. Use dog-specific shampoo and lukewarm water.

Nail Trimming

Trim nails every 2-4 weeks. Cut at 45-degree angle, avoiding the quick.

Ear Cleaning

Check and clean ears weekly with a vet-approved ear cleaner.
