Grooming

It's important to keep the Brussels Griffon's fur in pristine condition, but it may be a high-maintenance chore. Regular grooming is essential, and in certain circumstances, the help of professionals is needed. The good news is that you won't have to worry about cutting or stripping their coat.

Brussels Griffons need different types of care depending on their coat. Maintaining the quality of a rough coat requires regular brushing and, in certain cases, stripping the coat. On the other hand, Brussels Griffons with smooth coats need to have their fur brushed at least once a week to avoid mats and maintain it looking its best.

Maintaining a clean coat and avoiding mats and tangles are just two of the many benefits of a regular brushing routine. It's important for the coat's general health since it helps spread the natural oils within the fur. In addition to brushing, you should also make sure their nails are well clipped and look for symptoms of infection in their ears.

The purpose of Brussels Griffon grooming, whether the dog has a smooth or rough coat, is to ensure the dog's optimal health and appearance.

Be prepared for occasional shedding from your Brussels Griffon if you have a smooth coat.

The rough-coated breed, on the other hand, sheds far less than the smooth-coated kind, making them a good hypoallergenic choice for owners with moderate allergies.

Brussels Griffons with rough coats need regular hand-stripping (every three to four months) to keep their coats in good condition. Because stripping may take a long time and be painful for the dog, some owners choose to have their Schnauzers given a Schnauzer trim instead. Some groomers may no longer strip dogs, but there are other ways to ensure that your Brussels Griffon remains comfortable and well-groomed.
