Do Coton de Tulear dogs shed?
Yes, Coton de Tulear dogs shed, but they are a low-dander and low-shedding breed.
The Coton de Tulear’s dense, cotton-like coat requires weekly grooming to prevent matting and tangles. The length of their coat can vary but typically falls in the medium-to-long range, often reaching four to six inches.
Brushing a few times a week or even daily helps keep their coat clean and soft. Routine grooming not only helps maintain their coat’s appearance but also reduces the amount of dander and loose hair in your home. A pin brush or slicker brush works well for this task. Regular baths, about once a month, help to keep their coat clean and reduce any build-up of dirt or oils. Additionally, trimming the hair around their eyes, ears, and paws can help keep them comfortable and prevent irritation or infections.
By staying on top of these grooming requirements, you can help ensure that your Coton de Tulear remains healthy, comfortable, and looking their best.
