Grooming

To maintain a healthy coat that is free of mats and tangles, brush your Barbet often. Use a slicker brush or wide-toothed comb to delicately untangle and remove debris. Particular caution is required in mat-prone areas, such as the nape of the neck, the space under the arms, and the area around the tail.

Some areas, such those around the eyes, ears, and paws, may need regular trimming to keep them clean and free of discomfort. A pair of blunt-tipped scissors can do the job, or you might pay a professional groomer to be very careful.

No matter how water-resistant a barbet's coat is, it still doesn't need bathing too often. To maintain a clean and healthy appearance, wash the coat periodically. Rinse well after using a mild dog shampoo to eliminate any soap suds. Lastly, to lessen the chances of skin issues, ensure that the coat is completely dry.

The barbet is characterized by its long, floppy ears that are prone to infections. Maintain regular ear cleanings with the ear cleaner your veterinarian has recommended. Gently insert the object inside the ear canal without pushing it too far.

You must regularly clip your Barbet's nails to ensure its comfort and safety.

If you'd rather not handle it on your own, a professional pet groomer or vet might be of assistance.

The best way to keep your Barbet's teeth and gums healthy is to clean them regularly using a dog-specific toothpaste and toothbrush. This method is useful for two reasons: avoiding cavities and maintaining good breath. Using dental toys or chews may also assist with good tooth care.

Starting routines with your Barbet at an early age may help them establish a positive

attitude toward grooming. Opt for a groomer that focuses on curly-coated breeds if you're uncertain or would want professional guidance. More than simply keeping your Barbet neat and tidy, frequent grooming helps maintain good hygiene, prevents mats from forming, and keeps your pet healthy.
