Do Pointers shed?

Yes, Pointers shed minimally to moderately throughout the year. Their single coat is short, dense, and smooth with a healthy sheen. Pointers benefit from weekly brushing with a soft-bristled brush or grooming mitt. This helps to remove loose hair and distribute natural oils throughout their coat, promoting a healthy shine and reducing the amount of loose fur around the home.

More frequent brushing may be necessary during the heaviest shedding seasons in spring and fall. Occasional baths with a mild dog shampoo can also help to keep their coat clean and healthy, but it’s important not to over-bathe as this can strip their coat of essential natural oils.
