Saarloos Wolfdog Breed Maintenance
Saarloos Wolfdogs are considered moderate maintenance dogs as they do shed a fair amount and need frequent brushing to keep their hair clean and free from loose hair and matting. A slicker brush or firm bristle brush should suffice, although a dematter can also be used if the matting starts to get out of hand. They generally do a good job with self-maintenance so they rarely need a bath unless they get into something exceptionally dirty or offensive smelling. Over-bathing can disrupt the natural oils they produce to help keep their skin healthy and their hair repellant of moisture. Otherwise, owners only need to check and trim their nails when necessary to prevent cracking or breaking and brush their teeth on a weekly basis to help maintain good oral hygiene.
