Shaving doesn't stop shedding; it just makes the hair smaller and may not grow back right.

Regular brushing keeps the skin healthy, helps spot any bugs, and makes it easier to treat them.

Trimming isn't usually needed, but if you want to tidy up their coat, thinning scissors are a good choice.

For their paws, brush the hair that sticks out above their foot and trim any long bits.

Be careful not to cut their paw pads. To trim their tail, cut off any extra length in a straight line.

When you trim their ears, brush the hair to the side and cut a bit off the edge.
