Brushing them once a week with a rubber grooming mitt or tool or a de-shedding glove will help remove dead hair and maintain its appearance. It also helps to keep their plush coat healthy.

Keeping them clean and neat does not take so much effort. Begin accustoming them to being brushed and examined when they are still puppy. Handle their paws frequently ? dogs are touchy about their feet ? and look inside their mouth.

Trim their nails once or twice a month if your dog doesn't wear them down naturally to prevent painful tears and other problems. Their ears should be checked weekly for redness or a bad odour, which can indicate an infection. Your careful weekly exam will help you spot potential health problems early.
