The Grooming Process For Cavachons

By Lana Bray


Caring for a dog will not only include taking care of the basic necessities of the pet but also the emotional needs and grooming. Now in order to handle the emotional needs, one just needs to really love the dog and give it the proper attention which means that it is the grooming that he really needs to take care of. This short guide will be paying particular attention to an extremely sensitive type of breed known as the Cavachons.

Now just to give an idea to people about this breed, a Cavachon is a cross over between a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and a bichon. Now these dogs have very soft and long fur that grow extremely fast although they do need shed that fast. Also, they are known to have sensitive ears and teeth.

So when one starts grooming the dog, he must always try to give the dog a quick massage. The whole purpose of doing this is so that the pooch will be relaxed and not jumpy when the owner would start the grooming. Also, while doing this, the owner must check for flea bites and attend to them right away.

After the short massage, the owner now has to get a hair brush and slowly stroke the hair of the Cavachon. Take note that these kinds of dogs have really long hair if it is not regularly combed, they will get entangled easily. Another great thing about combing the hair of the Cavachon is that it will help with blood circulation because of the constant stroking motion to the body.

With all the hair straightened, it would now be easier to give the pooch a haircut. The reason for giving the haircut is so that the dog will look clean and he will not feel so heavy. So owners must always remember to give their Cavachons a haircut around thrice a month.

As stated earlier, these dogs have sensitive teeth that are actually very vulnerable to tooth decay and other types of oral infections. So that is why it is extremely important to make sure to brush the teeth of the canine everyday so that it can have good oral hygiene. Not only will this ensure proper hygiene, but it will also make sure that the dog does not have smelly breath.

Of course the owners must also pay attention to the ears of their Cavachon because this is another part that is extremely sensitive. Now to prevent any ear infections and such, it is a good idea to also clean the ears of the dog almost everyday. Of course one may also try putting some saline solutions into the ear of the pooch to chase away germs.

So basically, those are some of the ways to groom Cavachons. Remember that this breed is very sensitive which means that dogs of this kind will need an extra careful hand. Since they are sensitive and very prone to some infections, owners of this breed will need to put a lot of effort and attention into taking care of these kinds of dogs.
