A healthy diet is important to maintain their condition and keep them happy. Monitor their food intake to ensure they don't get gain too much weight. They are recommended to have a daily 1/2 to 1.5 cups of high-quality dry food divided into two meals. Clean, fresh water should be made available at all times.
Bichons sheds, but their shedding is very controllable with proper grooming. They will need constant brushing to prevent mats and tangles, leading to skin problems if left unattended.
Grooming a Bichon will need considerable time and attention to keep them neat and clean. Brush them at least twice a week and give them a bath as necessary. When taking a bath, check their ears to make sure they're kept clean. Providing the dog with raw bones can help to prevent plaque and tartar build-up.
Trim their nails once or twice a month to avoid painful tears and other issues. Make grooming a pleasurable activity for them, complete with encouragement and treats.
Bichons are active dogs that need 20 to 40 minutes of exercise daily. They enjoy long strolls and other activities like running around the yard. Playing with the family makes them happy.
They love participating in obedience, agility, and rally competitions. It is best practice to plan their exercise activities to keep them interesting for your dog.
Schedule health checkups with your veterinarian every six months to ensure that they are safe and happy throughout his life. Your veterinarian will do a physical examination, take your dog's temperature, and monitor his pulse at these regular appointments, among other things.
Routine maintenance for your dog gives you a chance to track your dog's growth and development, discuss any concerns with your vet, and form a key part of preventative care.
