Is it OK to brush your dog every day?

You should brush your dog every couple of days no matter the length of his coat. Sometimes your brushing can have a specific purpose, such as removing hair mats or helping your dog shed his seasonal coat, but most often you'll be doing general-purpose brushing or combing. Choose the right brush.

Is it possible to brush a dog too much?

When furminating your dog's coat, make sure their coat is completely dry and don't brush too hard or for too long as it can irritate their skin and cause coat damage if overused.

How long should you spend brushing your dog?

You should brush only for as long as it takes to remove any tangles, loose hair or dirt on your dog's body. For short-haired dogs, this may only take a couple of minutes. A long-haired dog might take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness and condition of his coat.
