GROOMING

Rottweilers have relatively short coat; the Rottweiler is a breed that is not too difficult to groom. You will want to brush your Rottweiler fairly frequently to if you do not want hair all over your home. Twice a year your dog will shed. Males tend to have on major shed in the spring, with a lighter one in the fall. Females tend to shed their entire coat with their estrus cycle. When you Rottweiler is shedding, you will want to brush him everyday.

Teeth and nails tend to be the parts of a Rottweilers daily grooming that most owners neglect. Dogs do not usually get cavities in their teeth, but they build up tartar at an amazing rate. Tartar causes gum disease in dogs just as in humans. If you start brushing your pup’s teeth while he is young, most dogs enjoy it. It is cheaper for you to brush your dog’s teeth than to anesthetize him does that your veterinarian can clean the tartar off. Anesthesia is always a risk if you just pay attention and keep your canine’s teeth pearly white.

You need to brush your Rottweiler’s teeth weekly, toes need attention monthly. Your Rottweiler should walk on the pads of his paws and you should not hear his nails clicking with each step. You can cut them, file them or grind them. Cutting a black nail is a wee bit tricky but not impossible. Cut off small segments at a time. The first clip should take off rather dry and brittle nail. As you take off more of the nail, notice the nail material becoming moister and softer.
