Brushing the Swedish Vallhund at least once per week will help remove cast-off hair and reduce shedding. During the semi-annual shedding season—when this breed blows its coat—daily brushing and regular baths (followed by a little time under the hairdryer) can help. Trimming nails, cleaning ears, and brushing teeth should also be part of every dog's grooming routine, regardless of breed.
Swedish Vallhunds need a high-quality dog food appropriate for their life stage (e.g., puppy, adult, senior). Also, consider a diet formulated for active breeds. Though the Swedish Vallhunds are highly energetic, they tend to become overweight. Prevent this by measuring out meals rather than free-feeding. And limit treats to no more than 10% of your dog's daily calories.
