Grooming For Cute Little Cavachons

By Lana Bray


Everyone who owns a dog will know that grooming the dog is extremely important whenever one is taking care of the pet. However, there are some dogs who need more special attention as compared to others because of the different biological structures of each dog. This particular guide will focus on how to groom dogs known as Cavachons.

Now just to give an idea to people about this breed, a Cavachon is a cross over between a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and a bichon. Now these dogs have very soft and long fur that grow extremely fast although they do need shed that fast. Also, they are known to have sensitive ears and teeth.

Now when one starts grooming the dog, one has to make sure that the dog is very relaxed and calmed down. In order to do this, the owner should first give the canine a quick massage so that he will not be tense. Now while giving the massage, always check for flea bites because they are sensitive to these bites and if there are any, immediate action should be taken.

After the short massage, the owner now has to get a hair brush and slowly stroke the hair of the Cavachon. Take note that these kinds of dogs have really long hair if it is not regularly combed, they will get entangled easily. Another great thing about combing the hair of the Cavachon is that it will help with blood circulation because of the constant stroking motion to the body.

Once all the hair has been straightened up, then the next step would be to give it a haircut. Always remember that the hair of this kind of breed will naturally grow extremely fast. That is why it should get a haircut at least twice or thrice a month so that it will look clean and not have to suffer any hair fall.

One of the diseases that these dogs are very susceptible to is tooth decay or other types of infections in the oral region. In order to prevent this kind of instance, the owner must always make sure to brush the teeth of his Cavachon daily so that the canine will have strong teeth. This will also prevent the dog from having really bad smelling breath.

Aside from having sensitive teeth, this dog is also known to have very sensitive ears which means that it can get ear infections easily. So the first thing to do about this would be to regularly clean the ears of the dog probably every other day. Also, the owner should also try putting some saline solution inside the ear to keep that area healthy.

So basically, those are some of the ways to groom Cavachons. Remember that this breed is very sensitive which means that dogs of this kind will need an extra careful hand. Since they are sensitive and very prone to some infections, owners of this breed will need to put a lot of effort and attention into taking care of these kinds of dogs.
