How often should dogs be brushed?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

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.


Do dogs need to be brushed everyday?

Dogs do not require daily brushing. Even dogs who require frequent at-home groomings for coat maintenance still usually only need to be brushed a few times each week.

How many times a week should I brush my dog?

Frequency of Brushing Smooth, short-coated dogs can generally be brushed once every few weeks to remove loose hair. While short, dense-furred dogs should usually be brushed once a week. Long-coated or double-coated dogs must be brushed weekly to prevent mats and to remove tangles.

Do dogs feel better after being brushed?

Regular grooming relaxes the dog who's used to it, and it becomes a special time that you can both share. A coat free of mats, burrs and tangles and skin free of fleas and ticks are as comfortable to your dog as fresh, clean clothes are to you. It makes you feel good, and the effect is the same for your pet.

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.
