The quality of the Rottweiler care that you will impart to your
dog will very much depend on the implements you have chosen for
the purpose, as well as your expertise in carrying it out. Expertise
can be easily substituted with the love you have for your Rottie
but you will still need the right implements for grooming.
Standard Rottweiler care dictates that you have a self-sufficient
grooming kit so you can take care of each and every aspect of
the grooming yourself. However, if you are feeling unsure you
should use the help of the vet. In case you are planning to showcase
your Rottweiler at a dog show, it will need some more specialized
grooming otherwise standard grooming will suffice.
The Rottweiler care Grooming Kit
To properly groom your Rottweiler you will need a grooming comb
or brush that has coarse and fine teeth for combing the coat as
well as removing shed hair. The fine comb can be used on the soft
underside of the animal. Nail clippers is another accessory you
will use every two or three weeks for Rottweiler care and should
be kept sharp. Some prefer the electric variety, but manual guillotine
styles usually have replaceable blades and sharp cutters are easier
to use. Ensure you have styptic powder or liquid when you trim
the nails to stop the dog’s toes from bleeding in case you have
an accident with the clipper.
You will need dog tooth brush and tooth paste, never use human
toothpaste for your dog, as these may create allergies and chances
are they will swallow it. A flea comb to get rid of the fleas
will also help in removing small particles of dust and dirt you
dog may pick up.
Ensure you have a good liquid cleaner ear cleaner and cotton
swabs to make sure you get the ears completely clean. It can prevent
infections and hearing problems in the future. It is also suggested
you have a packet of dog treats handy to calm down your dog when
the grooming is not to its liking.
When bathing you Rottweiler, use a no-tears shampoo or soap especially
marketed for providing Rottweiler care and be sure to towel dry.
Never use a blow dryer as it could dry out the animal’s skin,
as well as excite the animal with the noise.
You will need to groom your dog at regular intervals to have
it clean and healthy. The regular Rottweiler care does not demand
too much in terms of grooming since the Rottweilers are basically
clean and carefree dogs. Depending upon the surroundings where
you and your dog live, you will need to clip his nails, and de-flea
him regularly. You could provide him with an anti-flea collar
which will prevent the fleas from settling on your dog.
The most important aspects of the Rottweiler care routine would
be the ear cleaning and coat combing (when shedding). The nails
can often take care of themselves when and if the dog walks on
rough surfaces.
For those who are interested in expert
grooming tips for your Rottweiler, the best sources for first-hand
and qualitative information would be your veterinarian, good breeders
who live around you, and the Internet.
