Grooming your German Shepherd can be simple and enjoyable with the right tools and techniques. Regular brushing is essential to keep their coat and skin healthy, as it helps to distribute natural oils, remove debris and mats, and prevent knots from forming. Bathing should be a regular occurrence, too—once every couple of months keeps their white or dark coats looking glossy and beautiful. To maintain the fur on their legs, chest, and head areas clipping may be periodically necessary depending on which type of German Shepherd you own, so seek advice from a groomer who is familiar with this breed. The nail trimming procedure should also be followed regularly as having too long nails leads to uncomfortable pressure when they walk.
Finally, it’s important to ensure you brush your dog’s teeth at least twice a week, as dental hygiene is just as important in dogs as it is in humans!
