Grooming

To keep a Kooikerhondje's coat in good condition, brush it once a week to remove dead hair and prevent mats and tangles. Begin at the head and work your way down to the tail using a slicker brush or pin brush. To keep the coat healthy and happy, always brush against the natural direction of hair development.

Because of their inherently water-dirt-repellent coat, Kooikerhondjes don't need to be bathed as often as other breeds. But if your dog becomes very filthy or starts to smell, a gentle dog shampoo wash is in order. Make sure to rinse well to get rid of any remaining shampoo.

Long nails may be painful or even dangerous, so it's important to have them trimmed regularly. Use dog nail clippers carefully so you don't slice into the quick—the delicate pink area of the nail that houses the dog's nerves and blood vessels.

The general well-being of your Kooikerhondje depends on your diligent attention to oral care. To keep your dog's teeth in the best possible condition, clean their teeth regularly with a soft-bristled toothbrush and dog-specific toothpaste.

You must clean your Kooikerhondje's ears often since they are prone to ear infections.

To avoid infecting your ears, use a cotton swab and a mild ear-cleaning solution to remove any buildup of wax or debris.

If you want your Kooikerhondje to keep its form and avoid matting, professional coat trimming once every few months is a good complement to regular care. It is recommended that you seek the advice of a professional groomer or veterinarian for grooming suggestions tailored to your Kooikerhondje's specific requirements. Working together, we can tailor your dog's grooming regimen to meet their unique needs and promote their health.
