Bouvier Des Flandres Dog Training and Grooming
By 
A Bouvier’s coat is profuse and boasts a coarser outer coat with a much closer and denser undercoat which means they are quite high maintenance when it comes to keeping things looking tidy and a dog’s skin in good condition. Particular attention has to be paid to their moustaches and beards because they get quite wet when dogs drink and food tends to stick in them when they eat too. If not cleaned every day, not only do their moustaches and beards get a bit smelly, but it provides the perfect environment for bacteria to flourish.
A Bouvier’s coat should also be hand stripped a couple of times a year which is especially true during the Spring and then again in the Autumn when, like most dogs, they tend to shed the most hair. It’s also important to check a dog’s ears on a regular basis and to clean them when necessary. If too much wax is allowed to build up in a dog’s ears, it can lead to a painful infection which can be hard to clear up. In short, prevention is often easier than cure when it comes to ear infections.
