Why Brushing Your Dog’s Coat Weekly Is So Important

It’s a myth that only long-haired dogs need brushing. In truth, every dog needs regular grooming, regardless of coat type. It’s not just for looks—brushing helps prevent skin issues, matting, and even controls fleas or ticks.

- Benefits of regular brushing:

Removes dead fur, keeping your home cleaner.

Early detection of skin problems, wounds, or parasites.

Boosts circulation, improving coat shine and health.

Strengthens bonding between you and your pet through gentle contact.

- How often to brush:

Long-haired breeds: 3–4 times per week or daily.

Short-haired breeds: 1–2 times per week.

During shedding seasons (spring/fall): Increase frequency.

Think of brushing as a time for connection—not a chore. With a soft touch and calm voice, your dog will learn to enjoy the process.
