Every week to week-and-a-half If I am busy and miss the bath day. I brush every day to every other day with my dogs with a pin brush and some spritz that freshens between baths. I can't even attempt to use a slicker or I will be killed, but a metal comb and ball-tipped pin brush that goes all the way down to the skin works fine.
I have found some dogs just really hate any brushing whatsoever. One little snag on a tangle and it's the end of the world, then Fight Club. You may possibly have to run the dog in the yard with a ball beforehand to tire em' out, or use a safe calming aid from a petstore to calm grooming anxiety and safe yourself from blood loss. |
