Kokoni

The Kokoni needs brushing regularly. Ideally, a quick brush every day will help to remove any debris and tangles from their fur. To keep their fur looking shiny and feeling silky, you should give them a bath around once a month. 

You’ll need to clip their nails regularly and you should check their ears and clean them out to remove dirt and wax. 

Looking after their dental health is very important. Small dogs are more likely to have issues with their teeth than larger dogs, so you’ll want to brush them regularly to avoid this. 

This breed is very energetic. They will require physical exercise and mental stimulation every day. They can live in apartments but they must get out for daily walks.

Kokoni health risks 

Kokonis are an incredibly healthy breed with very few known health risks. They actually have a very long lifespan in comparison to most other breeds. 

There are no major health issues (or inherited health issues) you need to be aware of. The main thing with this breed (as with all smaller breeds) is to keep on top of their dental hygiene.  

This breed may have very few health risks - but it’s always best to have insurance just in case anything unexpected happens to them.  

Browse and compare top pet insurance providers to ensure you have the best cover for you and your Kokoni.

Feeding a Kokoni — what’s the best diet?

Your Kokoni will benefit from a high-quality dog food that has protein as the main ingredient. They can be fed dry or wet food, or a mixture of both. 

Treats are ideal to use when training your dog, but make sure you take this into account when serving up their meals as you don’t want to overfeed them. 

As Kokonis can have dental issues it’s important to consider this when choosing what to feed them. Dental chews, for example, are an enjoyable treat for your pup that will help to keep their teeth clean. 

A fresh food diet with low carbohydrates will also help to prevent plaque and tooth decay. You can also get food that is specifically formulated to prevent tartar buildup — just look for ‘Dental Care’ on the packaging. 

To keep your Kokoni happy and healthy, it’s important to ensure they’re enjoying the best possible diet. Need some help with this? Check out our friends over at Dog Food Advisor for advice including the best dog food for small dogs and the best dog dental chews.
