Brushing Routine

Brush 2-3 times per week with a rubber curry brush followed by a soft bristle brush to maintain their short, dense coat. Pay special attention to the wrinkles and folds around the face, cleaning them with a damp cloth after brushing. A deshedding tool like a FURminator can help during heavy shedding periods.

Bathing Tips

Bathe every 6-8 weeks using a gentle, moisturizing shampoo. Due to their size, a high-velocity dryer speeds up drying time significantly. Clean and dry all facial wrinkles thoroughly after bathing to prevent bacterial and yeast infections in the folds.

Common Issues

• Skin fold dermatitis and yeast infections
• Excessive drooling causing chin acne
• Elbow calluses and hygromas
• Seasonal allergies
• Interdigital cysts

Extend Your Grooming Results

Clean facial wrinkles daily with medicated wipes or a damp cloth followed by a light dusting of cornstarch to keep folds dry. Apply elbow balm regularly to prevent calluses. Keep a drool rag handy and wipe the chin area frequently to prevent acne.

Seasonal Care

Moderate shedding year-round with heavier blowing in spring and fall. Summer heat is dangerous for this breed, so keep them cool and groomed to reduce heat retention. In winter, their short coat needs supplemental warmth during extended outdoor exposure.

Maintenance Schedule

Brush 2-3 times weekly. Clean facial wrinkles daily. Wipe drool and chin area multiple times daily. Bathe every 6-8 weeks. Apply elbow balm 2-3 times weekly. Clean ears weekly. Trim nails every 3-4 weeks.
