Dogs are loved by many; over the course of their existence, these animals have become man's best friend. However, it's important to remember that they require grooming, and some breeds are particularly difficult to maintain.
Samoyed
Experts say one of the Samoyed's strengths is its cleanliness. While it can take care of its own grooming, grooming is still recommended. Specifically, daily brushing with a comb and slicker brush is required. If shedding begins, this procedure should be repeated daily.
Avoid bathing your Samoyed frequently, as this can cause its coat to become dull and brittle. Bathing can be done twice a year using a special shampoo.
Afghan Hound
The breed has a long guard hair that is very soft to the touch. Because of this, the animal requires weekly bathing, using a pet shampoo specifically designed for this breed. Avoid using products intended for humans or cheap pet care products, as these can cause hair loss.
After bathing, the Afghan Hound's coat is combed and blow-dried. Brush it 2-3 times a day, otherwise the hair will become tangled and will need to be trimmed.
Bobtail
The bobtail has a thick, lush coat, with a dense, abundant undercoat. Daily brushing is necessary to prevent matting. Regular bathing is also recommended.
If care is inadequate, your pet's appearance will become unsightly. Furthermore, the risk of skin diseases will increase.
Bullets
During adulthood, the dense undercoat blends with the outer coat, creating the cords characteristic of this breed. This coat is quite fine and requires careful grooming. Bathe your pet twice a month, drying thoroughly with a towel after bathing, and drying the cords as thoroughly as possible.
Do not use products intended for human use. This may lead to deterioration of the hair structure and hair loss.
Bichon Frise
This breed is distinguished by its unique white coat, which grows throughout its life. It's recommended to brush it daily with a slicker brush to remove any tangles. Shampooing is recommended every 7-10 days; however, daily bathing is possible without detergent.
Additionally, a Bichon needs to be trimmed. If your pet isn't participating in shows, this should be done every 2-3 months.
Papillon
They tend to be very clean, but grooming is still important. Papillons should be brushed twice a week, and daily if they are shedding. Before brushing, moisten the coat with a spray bottle. Mats and tangles are trimmed.
It's recommended to bathe your pet once a week and whenever it becomes dirty. Use a special shampoo to prevent the coat from turning yellow.
St. Bernard
This breed has a thick coat, requiring careful, daily grooming. It can be brushed daily with a regular comb. Twice a week, it should be brushed with a long-toothed brush, after which it should be replaced with a slicker brush, which runs along the entire length, both with and against the grain.
A St. Bernard should only be bathed when absolutely necessary. Typically, they are washed twice a year. Mild shampoos and conditioners are recommended. After washing, they are blow-dried.
Briard
This long-haired dog has coarse hair. Experts recommend regular brushing, as tangles and knots can easily form. A firm comb is essential, as the hair is strong and dense.
Bathing is performed once a month. Liquid shampoo is used. After washing, the coat is also brushed.
Collie
The coat is soft, thick, and pleasant to the touch. Brushing should be done in the direction of the hair. This procedure is recommended every few days, but if the owner prefers, it can be done daily.
Collies are washed with a special shampoo in warm water once a month. After bathing, their coat is combed with a fine-tooth comb.
