Having a pet dog goes beyond playing with, walking, petting, and feeding him. Do not forget one of the important things pet owners or human parents must do to keep their beloved pets happy and healthy. Any idea what is it? Yes, that is right. Grooming.
Grooming is an essential part of a pet’s life. And having a Dandie Dinmont Terrier is no different. These pups come in a unique appearance. But it does not imply that their fur parents should not take care of their physical aspect. So how should you care for a Dandie’s hair coat.
You have to know the details first about this breed’s coat.
· The topcoat (2 inches long) is crisp and covers a waterproof, downy, and soft undercoat.
· The topknot is soft and silky.
· The hair of Dandies varies between pepper and mustard. Pepper comes in a dark version of black and blue combination with a silvery white topknot. Mustard is a mixture of red and brown with a creamy white knot.
Experts recommend plucking or removing the dead hair strand only once or twice per year. Doing this will encourage new strands to grow. If you prefer cutting over stripping the coat, understand that the texture and color of your Dandie’s hair coat may change. It might become softer and lighter.
Any skin and/or hair coat issue exhibited by your pet should warrant an appointment with your pet clinic Saginaw, MI.
