Grooming

For Zuchon dogs' health and coat quality, it's important to maintain to a regular grooming schedule. To avoid mats and knots, combing your hair regularly is essential. To keep your Zuchon's coat in good condition, brush it with a soft-bristle or slicker brush several times weekly, if not every day. This will help to gently remove dirt and knots. Not only does this keep the coat looking good, but it also helps distribute the natural oils, making it seem healthier and more lustrous.

Generally speaking, it's ideal to bathe your Zuchon every three or four weeks, or as required. For a coat that is easy to care for and keeps its suppleness, use a mild dog shampoo and conditioner. Striking a balance is key; excessive bathing may dry up the skin and remove the coat's natural oils, so be careful.

Tear staining may be more common in Zuchons because of their face shape. To keep their eyes clean and free of infection, wipe them down with a moist towel on a regular basis. It is also advised to clean and inspect their ears once a week to avoid infections caused by wax accumulation.

Maintaining a healthy mouth is essential for Zuchons. You should clean your dog's teeth at least twice a week using dog-safe toothpaste and a toothbrush.

You can also help reduce plaque accumulation by giving your dog dental chews and toys.

Preventing overgrowth and making sure your Zuchon is comfortable requires routine nail cutting every 2 to 4 weeks. You must use extreme caution to not cut the quick, since it is a delicate area of the nail that houses nerves and blood vessels.

Even while you can take care of most of the grooming at home, going to a professional once in a while would do wonders. A professional groomer can give your pet a full trim, flattening out any bumps in the coat and shaping it to perfection. Additionally, they provide targeted treatment for certain regions, like the paws and face.
