Playing with your Giant Fluffy Dogs can be cute and entertaining. However, looking after them is tiring and time-consuming. What’s more, is that you need to do it daily! 

That fluff will become fluffier and dirty if you do not groom, brush, and bathe your dog regularly!

It may seem daunting initially, but once you know how to do it step-by-step, you will begin to enjoy the process. When you own an adult dog, there’s no getting away from the responsibility of caring for them appropriately. 

Having a fluffy dog isn’t as straightforward as owning another breed. Your dog requires additional care owing to its dense coat and long fur, which requires regular upkeep to stay clean, healthy, and comfortable.

How to Groom and Care for Fluffy Dogs? 

Fluffy, soft, and so cute—that’s the first impression of most dogs with long fur. But keeping that coat clean and fluffy is a challenge. There are many shaggy dog breeds, but grooming them regularly is a must to keep them healthy and happy.

How often you groom your dog depends on his breed and coat type; some dogs require daily brushing to control shedding (and prevent hairballs), while others may only need a quick bath every few weeks. 

Follow the following ways to groom and care for your fluffy dog.

1. Get the tools

You’ll need to find the appropriate maintenance tools to keep your dog’s coat lustrous and healthy. Invest in wide tooth combs, rake brushes, and slicker brushes to retain your dog’s lustrous, fluffy coat.

Get hold of the grooming equipment like brushes, clippers, scissors, etc., and ensure that your dog is comfortable wherever you plan to make them sit through the process. 

2. Remove Mat

In case your dog has developed mats, which is quite a possibility if they have a double coat, then it is time to get rid of them. Mats form mainly under the forearms, behind the ears, and in the body area where the arm and body rub together. 

There are many strategies to painlessly remove the mats while maintaining a healthy coat, depending on the sort of mats you are dealing with. All you need to do is trust the process and take the plunge.

3. Bathe and Brush

Bath your dog regularly. Fluffy dogs may require daily or biweekly brushing to maintain a lovely, healthy coat free of tangles. Before gently brushing your dog’s coat, it could be useful to spray it with water.

Find a shampoo and conditioner appropriate for your dog. Many shampoos are available in the market to suit your dog’s specific needs and also vary on the type of fur. 

If your dog is huge and fluffy, bathing them in an open area would be both fun and easier. If you have a backyard or an open space where you spend time with your dog, you could consider bathing them there. 

Or else, you could invest in a kiddie pool that will allow you to give them a different and unique experience within a closed space.

4. Remove Tangles

As you brush through your fluffy dog’s coat, use a detangling spray to remove any minor tangles. Use brushes and combs to remove any minor tangles. It could be necessary to use scissors to cut out large knots.

5. Blowout 

Ensure your dog’s undercoat can be reached by the bristles of your brush. A dog with two coats is a suitable candidate for a rake. Giving your dog a blowout now will enable you to remove all of the undercoats in one quick yet messy blowout session.

Everything else is fine, just do not forget to enjoy the process and ensure that you make it memorable even for your pet. If they like, they will surely look forward to getting the next one soon without creating any additional trouble for you.

Summary

If you’re unsure how to groom your dog according to its breed, it is best to research common ways before starting. It may appear daunting, but when you get into giving these grooming sessions, you will better bond with them.

Due to their multiple coats, fluffy breeds typically require much more care and grooming. This can entail giving your dog a daily brushing. 

Dogs who live year-round in warmer climates may shed their coat more frequently. You might want to think about blowing away their undercoat or giving them a deep brushing with a rake too.
