Grooming

Brushing: Brush your Briard once or twice a week to remove dead hair, prevent mats, and keep your dog's coat in tip-top shape. Get out the slicker brush or grooming rake and give their whole coat a good once over, giving special attention to the areas behind the ears, under the arms, and on the back where mats like to form.

Carefully untangle your Briard's coat using a slicker brush or your fingers if you find any mats or knots. Mats may be difficult to remove, but a detangling spray or mat splitter tool can make the job much easier. Avoid making your dog uncomfortable by being nice and patient.

Briards need a bath about once every two or three months, or more often if necessary. To avoid irritating your dog's skin and fur, use a shampoo made specifically for canines. Brush their coat properly to eliminate any stray hairs and dirt before washing it. Make sure no shampoo residue remains by giving the coat a thorough rinse after washing.

Towel or hair dryer in a low or cold setting is best for drying your Briard's coat after a bath. Brush the coat while it's drying to get rid of any tangles.

Briards need special maintenance, such as the removal of excess hair from their ears, paws, and private regions. For a more tailored cut or regular upkeep, some Briard owners take their dogs to a professional groomer. Hiring a professional groomer is an option if you lack the necessary skills.

To avoid painful overgrowth and discomfort, it's vital to clip your Bird's nails on a regular basis. Carefully cut their nails with a nail clipper designed for dogs, or get some expert advice if you're not sure what you're doing.

Ear Care: Be on the lookout for ear infections and wax accumulation by giving your Briard a frequent examination. For a thorough cleaning, use cotton wipes or pads together with an ear cleaner made specifically for dogs.
