Grooming
The Canaan Dog has a robust, weather-resistant outer coat and a fluffy, warm undercoat. Grooming them on a regular basis will keep their coat in top shape, stop it from matting, and keep them smelling fresh.
Canaan Dogs normally lose their undercoat twice yearly, in the spring and fall. It's possible that this shedding process may take many weeks, perhaps months.
It's important to brush your hair more often during this period to get rid of any stray or dead hair. Brushing your pet on a regular basis will keep their coat in good condition and prevent excessive shedding. Mats may be avoided and loose hair removed with the use of a slicker brush or shedding tool.
Brushing your Canaan Dog's coat once or twice weekly should be adequate to maintain it in excellent shape outside of shedding season. Brushing on a regular basis helps spread the hair's natural oils, gets rid of dirt and debris, and prevents mats from developing.
In addition to frequent brushing, the Canaan Dog also need regular nail trims to ensure his or her comfort and health.
Nails that have grown too long may be painful, irritating, and even hamper normal walking. Nail length should be checked and trimmed every two to four weeks, or as required. Ask your physician or groomer for advice if you have no idea how to properly cut your pet's nails.
Grooming a Canaan Dog also involves giving special attention to its teeth. Plaque and tartar accumulation, which may contribute to dental issues, can be prevented by regularly cleaning their teeth using a dog-specific toothbrush and toothpaste. Giving them the right kinds of chew toys, dental treats, and dental hygiene products may also help.
Checking your Canaan Dog's ears for symptoms of illness or discomfort is a good idea whenever you give him a bath or a thorough haircut. Ear wax and debris may be easily removed by wiping the ears with an ear cleaner your vet has prescribed. When cleaning your ears, be careful not to push anything too far into your ear canal.
The Canaan Dog's coat provides some protection from the elements, although it is not completely waterproof. So, during rainy periods, make sure they have somewhere to stay dry.
