During seasonal shedding periods, Hequ Tibetan Mastiffs require almost daily grooming with a de-shedding tool to remove the undercoat. But the rest of the year, a weekly brushing to remove dirt, debris, and tangles is sufficient. To reduce your pup's chance of ear infections, check their ears regularly and clean them as needed to remove wax build-up and debris. And be sure to trim those nails to prevent them from snagging on things and breaking. Lastly, good dental hygiene will support your dog's overall health. So, in addition to professional cleanings, establish an at-home dental care program that includes regular teeth brushing and veterinarian-recommended dental chews.
