Grooming
The German Shepherd tends to shed their coats, so you need to regularly groom your German Shepherd. Through regular grooming, you avoid having your home covered in dog hair. This also benefits your guests, who will feel comfortable when visiting, knowing that they are not going home with dog hair all over them.
Grooming your German Shepherd is relatively easy and only takes a few minutes, every few days. Once you have a routine, it will feel natural and your dog will love you for it. Like most dogs, their coat will be thicker during the winter months, so you may consider grooming your German Shepherd more frequently in colder months.
Before you begin grooming your dog, you should ensure that you buy a good quality grooming brush. Always go to a reputable pet store and speak to the owner about which brush is best for a German Shepherd with a soft short coat. Overall, the German Shepherd is a clean dog breed and really only need a bath if they have been rolling in something that is quite dirty, or smelly. Again, ask your pet storeowner which is the best dog shampoo for a German Shepherd.
