Small Münsterlanders need only occasional brushing to keep their coats looking clean and healthy. However, when they shed their coats in the spring and fall, they require more frequent grooming. Your Small Münsterlander's nails will wear down some through daily activity. But you should still inspect them regularly for splits or cracks and trim as needed. In addition to professional dental cleanings, Small Münsterlanders need a regular at-home dental care routine that includes teeth brushing and dental chews or treats. Maintaining good dental hygiene is essential for the overall long-term health of all breeds.
It's important to monitor how much your Small Münsterlander eats. To prevent them from becoming overweight, reduce the portions as needed, and take treats into account when tracking their daily calorie intake. As a guideline, treats should make up no more than 10% of a dog's calories.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
