Keep your giant companion in top shape
Great Danes are large dogs that are loved by many dog lovers for their elegant appearance and gentle personality. Regular grooming is essential to keep this “giant among dogs” healthy and clean. This article will introduce you to the key points of grooming for Great Danes, so that your dog can always look his best, even comparable to the perfect image of those Great Dane statues.
1. Hair care
Great Danes have short, close-fitting hair that is not easy to tangle, but they also need regular care. Combing their hair at least once a week to remove shed hair and dandruff will not only keep the hair clean, but also promote blood circulation in the skin, making the hair healthier and shinier. Using a rubber brush or soft-bristle brush suitable for short-haired dogs is a good choice.
2. Bathing
Although Great Danes do not need to be bathed frequently, washing them every one to two months can effectively remove dirt and odors from their bodies. When bathing, use a mild shampoo designed for dogs to avoid irritating the skin. After bathing, be sure to dry thoroughly with a towel and use a hair dryer to dry the hair at low temperature to prevent moisture from causing skin diseases.
3. Nail trimming
Great Danes’ nails grow quickly. Too long nails not only affect walking posture, but also easily cause joint discomfort. It is recommended to check and trim the nails every two to three weeks. Be careful not to cut the blood line when trimming. If you are not sure, it is best to ask a professional beautician to do it.
4. Ear cleaning
Great Danes’ ears are prone to earwax accumulation. It is recommended to clean the ear canal once a week with special ear drops to prevent infection. When cleaning, just wipe the outside of the ear canal gently with a cotton ball to avoid deep into the ear canal and cause damage.
5. Teeth cleaning
Great Danes are prone to tartar and tartar accumulation. Brush your teeth at least two to three times a week, using pet-specific toothpaste and toothbrush to keep your oral cavity healthy. Healthy teeth not only give Great Danes fresh breath, but also prevent oral diseases.
With regular grooming care, your Great Dane will not only maintain good health, but also look like a Great Dane Statue. This large dog requires careful care and attention from its owner so that it can stay with you for a long time in good health.
