Grooming is very important for any dog, including our favourite
Great Dane. It improves dog’s appearance, contributes to dog’s
mental and physical well-being and helps to prevent different
diseases and infections. Great Dane is a member of the family, so
you must care for him as well as for any other member of your
family. Several areas, where your Great Dane needs special care are the
following:
Bathing
Dogs aren’t humans and there is no need to bath your Great Dane
every day. But, how often it should be bathed then? The frequency of
bathing depends upon the individual pet. In a few words it should be
done on a “as needed” basis. Of course, when your dog starts to look
scrubby or gives off an odor, it’s time to wash him. Please,
remember, that if it’s cold outside, the dog shouldn’t be allowed to
go out until he is completely dry. It will prevent him from getting
sick. Don’t use human shampoo, when washing. There is a great
variety of dog shampoos, that are formulated for dogs’ skin.
Shampoos, intended for human use, can irritate dog’s skin and cause
excessive drying. When washing your dog, make sure shampoo doesn’t
get in his eyes.
Brushing
Great Dane normally has short hair, but his hair still needs to be
brushed. You should start using a dog brush, when your Great Dane is
a puppy. Soon he will get comfortable with brushing and he may even
look forward to it. Brushing is meant to prevent matted hair and
remove excess fur. It will also help to remove pet dander.
Ears
Please, pay special attention to your dog’s ears. Examine them
regularly for dirt and wax. Be careful, using soft cotton ball and
never lodge it into the ear. Don’t use a Q-tip! The ear drum may be
easily damaged by the cotton applicator. If you don’t know or
hesitate how to clean your dog’s ears, please, consult your
veterinarian.
Nails
It’s vital to keep your dog’s nails trimmed, but, be careful,
because there are veins in Great Dane’s nails. If you’ve never
clipped a dog’s nails before, it will be better to take him to a
groomer. Later, when you will be sure how to clip the nails, you may
purchase clippers and do it by yourself at home. Keeping up with
your dog’s nails you prevent in-grown nails, that are very painful.
