Do you need to groom a Komondor?

Yes, grooming a Komondor is essential to maintain their unique corded coat. Their distinctive corded coat forms naturally but requires specific care to remain healthy and functional. Pet parents must regularly separate the cords by hand at least once weekly to prevent matting and ensure the cords remain properly formed. Some pet parents also trim the cords around the face, feet, and rear to keep the dog comfortable and to make grooming easier.

Komondors should be bathed every few months or when the dog becomes particularly dirty. Ensure the coat is thoroughly rinsed and completely dried afterward, as the dense cords can retain moisture, potentially leading to skin problems. The coat can take a long time to dry due to its density, and failing to dry it completely can lead to mold or skin infections.
