Dalmatians are a physically unique breed; no other dogs have the iconic snow white coat and dark spots. They are good house dogs, but require a lot of attention and demand constant surveillance since they can be restless and mischievous. As far as grooming goes, however, Dalmatians are low maintenance dogs. They need a full grooming every 8 to 12 weeks and a general grooming only once a month. Read on to learn more.
Instructions
1. Reduce shedding by brushing regularly with a pin or slicker brush. The Dalmatian's coat is meant to have a sleek, elegant look, but can be surprisingly dense. However, any large clumps of hair are extremely noticeable on its body. They shed profusely, so you must brush often to keep shed hair from building up in the coat.
2. Use a rubber brush to loosen shed hair while bathing. The hair may come out more easily when wet.
3. Spray the coat lightly with finishing spray to give the coat an extra bit of sheen. The stark contrast of dark spots and white in the coat should have a clean and tidy look.
