Grooming

Bolognese dogs need regular brushing to keep their long, thick coats free of knots and mats. Use a slicker brush or pin brush to carefully remove knots at least twice a week. Initiating this grooming procedure at a young age helps them adjust to the process.

Bolognese dogs do not need regular washes, but when one is essential, gentle dog shampoo and conditioner should be used. All product remnants must be removed by a thorough rinsing. Make sure your Bolognese is totally dry by towelling it off and, if necessary, using a hairdryer set to a low heat setting.

Due to the constant growth of hair, the Bolognese coat requires frequent trimming. To prevent infections of the eye or ear canal, you should give special attention to clipping the hair around these sensitive regions.

The Bolognese, like other white-coated breeds, may need special care to prevent tear stains on their white fur. You may prevent this by including eyelid hygiene in your daily regimen of self-care. Consult with a veterinarian if tear staining continues, since it might be suggestive of underlying health concerns.

The Bolognese ponytail is a distinguishing trait that may be attained by diligent maintenance and style. To create the breed's signature look, soft hair ties or clips are used to collect a tiny amount of hair on the head into a ponytail.

Regular ear checks and cleanings may prevent wax accumulation and infections in your Bolognese's ears. Keep a look out for any redness, discharge, or pain in their eyes; if you see anything unusual, a vet should be consulted.

Maintaining the physical and cosmetic integrity of your Bolognese dog's coat requires regular and thorough care. Starting these routines early in their childhood helps them get comfortable with the grooming procedure, promoting a happy experience for both you and your canine partner.
