Brushing removes dead hair, but it also plays a vital role in coat regeneration.<\/p>\n
Through its mechanical action, it stimulates blood microcirculation at the base of the hair, which:<\/p>\n
promotes regrowth and renewal of the undercoat (particularly important before winter),<\/p>\n
removes dead hair and lightens the fur,<\/p>\n
contributes to better temperature regulation, especially in summer.<\/p>\n
Never brush a dry coat.
\nUse a moisturizing or detangling spray specifically formulated for long-haired dogs to make brushing easier and prevent breakage.<\/p>\n
First, brush with a long-bristled brush.<\/p>\n
Then, use a wide-toothed comb to check for any remaining knots.<\/p>\n
Use a slicker brush if necessary to remove any knots and dead undercoat.<\/p>\n
Brushing should not be superficial.
\nIt is important to work thoroughly, parting the fur strand by strand to reach the undercoat. This aerates the coat and prevents matting.<\/p>\n
Get your puppy used to short, regular brushing sessions from the moment they arrive.
\nBrushing 2 to 3 times a week is sufficient outside of shedding season.<\/p>\n
The goal is both educational and aesthetic: the puppy learns to stay calm and accept handling.<\/p>\n
For routine maintenance, brushing twice a week helps keep their coat healthy and well-ventilated.<\/p>\n
During shedding season (spring and autumn), it is recommended to brush 3 to 4 times a week, or even daily if there is significant hair loss.<\/p>\n
Consistency is more important than duration:
\nShort, frequent sessions are better than long, occasional brushing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”671″ img_size=”500*500″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”bg-color-1″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_raw_html]PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjMxNSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9SN1lWYkJLc3Iycz9zdGFydD0zMCIgdGl0bGU9IllvdVR1YmUgdmlkZW8gcGxheWVyIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3c9ImFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXI7IGF1dG9wbGF5OyBjbGlwYm9hcmQtd3JpdGU7IGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYTsgZ3lyb3Njb3BlOyBwaWN0dXJlLWluLXBpY3R1cmUiIGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbj0iIj48L2lmcmFtZT4=[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
How to brush your dog? by Nath Dibella<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3257″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”bg-color-2″][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5916″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”bg-color-1″ el_id=”section-bain”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Thoroughly wet your German Spitz, being careful to avoid getting water in the ears and eyes.<\/p>\n Apply a shampoo formulated for long-haired dogs, with a neutral pH, possibly enriched with keratin to maintain coat quality.<\/p>\n If necessary, follow with a conditioner to nourish the coat and make detangling easier.<\/p>\n Start with the head (being careful around the eyes and ears), then continue down the body, finishing with the tail. Don’t forget the belly and paws.<\/p>\n A thorough rinse is essential to remove all product residue, which could irritate the skin.<\/p>\n A properly performed bath leaves the skin clean and the coat nourished, soft, and moisturized.<\/p>\n First, dry your dog with absorbent towels.<\/p>\n Then, use a hairdryer (warm air, never too hot) while brushing the fur section by section to dry thoroughly, down to the undercoat.<\/p>\n Complete drying is essential: a damp coat can encourage the development of parasites or skin problems.<\/p>\n Proper drying will also make brushing easier and help restore volume to the double coat.<\/p>\n The German Spitz does not require frequent baths.<\/p>\n For routine maintenance, a bath every 8 to 10 weeks is generally sufficient, depending on:<\/p>\n its lifestyle (indoor\/outdoor),<\/p>\n its activity level,<\/p>\n the condition of its coat.<\/p>\n Bathing too frequently can damage the skin’s natural protective film and weaken the coat.<\/p>\n However, a bath can be given occasionally if the dog is particularly dirty (mud, sand, odor).<\/p>\n The quality of brushing is more important than the frequency of baths.<\/p>\n A well-groomed and regularly brushed Spitz stays clean longer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”270″ img_size=”800*800″ alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”3rem”][vc_single_image image=”272″ img_size=”800*800″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”bg-color-2″ el_id=”section-griffes”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Only trim a few millimeters of the nails (the quick may be very long) to avoid injuring your dog. Use special dog nail clippers. If you do accidentally cut a nail and it bleeds, apply a small compress and use a bleeding-stopping powder.<\/p>\n Brush regularly to limit tartar buildup and bacterial growth. Brush your pet’s teeth with a toothbrush and special dog toothpaste.<\/p>\n Check weekly to ensure there are no signs of dirt or infection.<\/p>\n Clean the eyes by applying a suitable product (such as Ocryl) or saline solution. Wipe with a compress or paper towel. (Never use cotton wool, as tiny cotton fibers can remain and irritate the eye.)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1278″ img_size=”800*500″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”bg-color-1″][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Video explanations by Serge Belais, veterinarian,<\/p>\n and active member of the SPA (Society for the Protection of Animals)<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”3rem”][vc_row_inner el_class=”row-align-center”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_raw_html]PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjMxNSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS9lbWJlZC81TmpfWmVGNUZMTSIgdGl0bGU9IllvdVR1YmUgdmlkZW8gcGxheWVyIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3c9ImFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXI7IGF1dG9wbGF5OyBjbGlwYm9hcmQtd3JpdGU7IGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYTsgZ3lyb3Njb3BlOyBwaWN0dXJlLWluLXBpY3R1cmUiIGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbj0iIj48L2lmcmFtZT4=[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Vet advice: how to trim your dog’s nails?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_raw_html]PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjMxNSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9vT1EwWVdjZjljTSIgdGl0bGU9IllvdVR1YmUgdmlkZW8gcGxheWVyIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3c9ImFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXI7IGF1dG9wbGF5OyBjbGlwYm9hcmQtd3JpdGU7IGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYTsgZ3lyb3Njb3BlOyBwaWN0dXJlLWluLXBpY3R1cmUiIGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbj0iIj48L2lmcmFtZT4=[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Vet advice: how to clean your dog’s teeth?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”2rem”][vc_row_inner el_class=”row-align-center”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_raw_html]PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjMxNSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9PckdmZzFadXdHayIgdGl0bGU9IllvdVR1YmUgdmlkZW8gcGxheWVyIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3c9ImFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXI7IGF1dG9wbGF5OyBjbGlwYm9hcmQtd3JpdGU7IGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYTsgZ3lyb3Njb3BlOyBwaWN0dXJlLWluLXBpY3R1cmUiIGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbj0iIj48L2lmcmFtZT4=[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Vet advice: how to clean your dog’s eyes?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_raw_html]PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjMxNSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9PT2pQSGJ0U0Z5byIgdGl0bGU9IllvdVR1YmUgdmlkZW8gcGxheWVyIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3c9ImFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXI7IGF1dG9wbGF5OyBjbGlwYm9hcmQtd3JpdGU7IGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYTsgZ3lyb3Njb3BlOyBwaWN0dXJlLWluLXBpY3R1cmUiIGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbj0iIj48L2lmcmFtZT4=[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Vet advice: how to clean your dog’s ears?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”bg-color-2″][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”666″ img_size=”500*500″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”668″ img_size=”500*500″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1159″ img_size=”500*500″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”bg-color-1″][vc_column][vc_column_text]To fully understand the importance of this care, it is essential to address a natural phenomenon specific to the breed: molting periods, key moments when the coat is renewed and requires special attention.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”2rem”][vc_btn title=”Moults” style=”3d” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-dog” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pomsdelalezardiere.fr%2Fen%2Fgrooming-nutrition%2Fmoults%2F|title:Moults|target:%20_blank|”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”bg-color-2″ el_id=”section-brosse”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text] I \u2013 Brushing Brushing removes dead hair, but it also plays a vital role in coat regeneration.
