Depending on your dog's coat, they may need more or less frequent maintenance. As a result, some dog breeds require daily brushing, while others only require less frequent grooming. It's helpful to know how often to groom your dog based on their breed (bulldog, Schnauzer, Pekingese, Retriever, etc.) and their coat (short or long hair). The frequency of brushing can also be increased, especially if there is a lot of hair falling out during shedding. They shed twice a year, in the fall and spring, so canine grooming is particularly important during these two periods. Also, it's recommended that your furry friend gets used to being handled and brushed with the accessory from a young age, so it's easier for both of you later on.
