grooming routine for dogue de bordeaux

A short coat doesn't mean the Dogue de Bordeaux doesn't need a brushing every so often to keep mats at bay, distribute the coat's natural oils, and remove stray hairs. Maintain a healthy coat with the help of a grooming mitt or soft-bristle brush.

Bathing: Give your dog a bath whenever it becomes filthy, which is usually every two to three months. For your dog's delicate skin, use a gentle shampoo. Make sure you rinse well to get rid of any soap residue.

Cleansing Wrinkles: Focus on their facial wrinkles in particular. Problems with the skin could develop if dirt and sweat build up in certain spots. To avoid infections, gently wipe the creases with a moist cloth. After washing, make sure the creases are completely dry.

To keep the Dogue de Bordeaux's ears healthy and free of infections, it's important to clean and inspect them on a regular basis. To carefully remove any debris or wax from the ears, use a cotton swab and an ear-cleaning solution that has been suggested by the veterinarian.

Maintain a short yet manageable nail-clipping routine for your dog.

Your Dogue de Bordeaux's stride may be affected and they may be uncomfortable with long nails. Talk to a doctor or professional groomer if you need help trimming your pet's nails.

Dental Care: Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to the general well-being of your dog. Make sure your Dogue de Bordeaux gets regular dental care by brushing his teeth with a dog-safe toothbrush and toothpaste. Additional aids to dental hygiene include dental chews and toys.

The expression of the anal glands may be necessary for some dogs. Talk to your vet if you see scooting or excessive licking; they can tell you whether it's needed.

Dogue de Bordeaux owners often indulge their pets by taking them to a professional groomer, even though the breed doesn't need much in the way of maintenance. Groomers provide a wide range of services, including bathing, nail clipping, and the expression of anal glands.

Regular inspections for redness, discharge, or irritation of the eyes should be part of your dog's eye care routine. Remove any stains caused by tears with a moist towel. Make an appointment with your vet if the problems continue.
