Whippet Dog Training and Grooming
By 
Whippets are low maintenance when it comes to keeping their coats looking good. A weekly brush is all it takes to keep on top of things, although a daily brush is a good idea to check for any injuries or wounds that could turn nasty if not caught in time more especially as Whippets have such thin skin. It’s important to use softer brushes when grooming a Whippet because their skin is so delicate and sensitive.
It’s also important to check a dog’s ears on a regular basis and to clean them when necessary. If too much wax builds 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.
