Care
The Stabyhoun’s coat sheds dirt naturally. So, keeping it clean is an easy job. In fact, Stabys rarely need baths. Weekly brushing is usually enough to keep their coats looking their best. But during seasonal shedding, you may need to brush more frequently.
You should also trim nails regularly to keep them at a short, tidy length. Nails that get too long can cause discomfort or lead to problems walking.
Finally, maintaining good dental hygiene is essential for any dog’s long-term health. In addition to scheduling professional dental cleanings, establish an at-home care routine that includes regular (ideally daily) teeth brushing.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
