If you wait until your pup is old enough to go to a groomer before they have grooming experience you are asking for trouble and your groomer will not be happy either.
If you start combing your puppy from the first day you have it you will find that eventually you will have a well behaved pup that likes being combed. Their coats don't really need combing when they are young but they do need to learn how to accept the comb and the handling it takes to have a properly groomed dog.
Giving a weekly bath with a pet shampoo that does not contain sulfate or other chemicals will also help your pup learn the ropes of grooming. It is far easier to teach a young pup these things than to try to introduce and older pup to being handled and groomed. It may seem like a struggle at first but doing the combing at least twice daily and bathing at least once weekly will set up a routine that lasts for a lifetime. (always make it fun and end with a treat) |
Yup brush everyday even if its a little but you are just gtting them use to it. Brush there teeth also. Little at a time
