For long-haired dogs, especially in humid conditions, regular grooming is essential to prevent painful mats and skin issues. Daily brushing is ideal; if not daily, at least every 2-3 days using a slicker brush and a metal comb to get to the roots. Pay extra attention to areas like behind the ears, armpits, and legs where matting frequently occurs. Professional grooming every 4-8 weeks, depending on the coat type and activities, can also help maintain coat health and keep your dog comfortable.
