Grooming

Hairless Chinese Crested Dogs: Hairless Chinese Crested Dogs have smooth, exposed skin that requires special care:

Avoid direct sunlight and use moisturizer on your hairless Chinese Crested's skin. Maintaining moisturized and supple skin requires consistent moisturizing. To keep their skin from drying out and to shield it from UV rays, use a dog-friendly moisturizer or lotion prescribed by your vet.

Protecting your hairless Chinese Crested dog from the sun is essential since they have no fur to shield them from the rays. When taking your dog outdoors, make sure to apply dog-specific sunscreen to any exposed skin.

Hairless Chinese Crested Dogs should have regular bathing to maintain healthy skin. Apply a hypoallergenic, gentle shampoo all over your dog's body and rub it in gently. When giving them a bath, make sure the water isn't too cold or they can get a chill.

Examine your hairless Chinese Crested dog's skin often for signs of irritation, infection, or rashes. If you see anything out of the ordinary or the problem persists, you should call your vet.

Powderpuff Chinese Crested Dogs: These dogs have a long, fluffy coat that needs frequent brushing.

Regular brushing of a Powderpuff Chinese Crested Dog's coat is necessary to remove dead hair and prevent mats. To keep the coat appearing tidy and well-groomed, sweep away any stray hairs using a slicker brush or soft-bristled brush. Matting hotspots include the region behind the ears as well as the pits and tail end of your pet.

The coat of a Powderpuff may need to be trimmed or shaped from time to time. Hair around the face, paws, and privates may be trimmed to keep them clean and avoid matting.

Delicate little puff To maintain a clean and pleasant coat, Chinese Crested Dogs should be bathed often. Use a dog-specific conditioning product and shampoo if your pet has a thick coat. To prevent residue accumulation, be sure to thoroughly rinse off the items.
