Are you wondering how much time to spend brushing your dog every week? The answer to that is that each dog’s grooming requirements are generally breed-specific, especially if you show your dog. Companion dogs need less grooming (bathing and brushing) than show dogs. And much depends on the type and length of your dog’s coat.
Do some research on your breed to see what is advocated for your dog’s breed or coat type for mutts. Even companion dogs with long coats will need daily brushing to prevent matting.
Grooming can also be seasonal and extra brushing may be required when your dog sheds his coat. If your dog enjoys being brushed, the time you spend together is good bonding time, so don’t hesitate to brush your dog every day if you want to.
