Care tailored to this breed
Ear care
Drooping or very hairy ears get little air. Regular cleaning, especially after a bath or a swim, keeps them clean.
- Ear cleansing lotion · Traditional
Helping through moulting
The dense undercoat sheds heavily during moults. A detangling conditioner makes brushing out the dead hair easier. Never clip a double coat: it protects against both cold and heat.
- KR-24 detangling conditioner · Mineral Complex
After a swim
This dog loves water: rinse with clean water after a swim in a lake or the sea, and if needed use a treatment that neutralises the wet-dog smell.
