Dalmador Breed Maintenance
The Dalmador can be quite a shedder so it takes a bit more effort to groom them and remove the hair before it coats the house. Often the coat will blow out with the onset of spring, and handfuls of hair can be pulled out. A firm bristle brush used three times per week will help maintain its coat. Bathing the Dalmador will help remove the shedding hair and prevent doggy odor.
Just ensure you use a shampoo designed for dogs to prevent any allergic reactions. Your Dalmador will enjoy all the attention, and if you start when they are very young, it will become a valuable bonding time. Remember to check inside their ears as infections can become a problem, wiping out the ear will help clear any debris. Their toe nails may need clipping unless they are active enough to wear them down themselves. Get your dog groomer to show you how to do it correctly if you have never done it before, to prevent cutting too low and hurting your dog. And finally, if you brush your dog’s teeth regularly you can prevent dog’s breath and any teeth and gum issues.
Insuring your dog as soon as “pawssible” is essential for preventing high vet care costs. Start comparing insurance plans from leading insurers like Healthy Paws and Embrace and save over $270 a year.
