Brushing is an important part of the care routine for canines. It may be required on a weekly or daily basis. This simply depends on the breed.
When you brush your dog regularly, you remove dead hair, distribute natural oils for a clean and healthy coat, stimulate the surface of its skin, and rid her of dead and dry skin. The mechanical action of brushing helps remove dead hair and various types of dirt and particles (weeds, soil, grass seeds, etc.) and it facilitates the growth of new fur. Regular brushing also helps you to become familiar with your dog’s body which will allow you to notice lumps, presence of parasites such as ticks or fleas, and other health related problems early in their occurrence. As a rule of thumb, brushing your dog at least once every couple of days is highly recommended irrespective of how long its coat is.
