Most dogs enjoy being brushed, and sessions will strengthen the bond with your dog while maintaining a healthy coat. A dog’s minimum brushing needs depend on hair type. Choose the right tools and follow these guidelines:- Long-haired dogs usually require daily brushing to prevent matting and tangling of hair.- Medium-haired dogs may be prone to matting and tangles and should be brushed at least weekly.- Short-haired dogs can typically go up to a month in-between brushing.Regardless of hair type, you can brush your dog daily - especially if he enjoys it. More frequent brushing during shedding season can help prevent hair build-up and excess shedding.*This message is courtesy dogs.about.com
