Papillon Grooming



Regular brushing, combing, trimming and bathing, in combination with dental care and nail trimming will make your  Papillon feel and look good.
The Papillon has a soft, silky coat with no "under coat", that requires little grooming. The Papillons  long-haired coat, along with ear fringes look dramatic, but require less grooming than most long-haired coats, and they do not need professional grooming.
Brush/comb your dog a couple of times per week to keep mats out, improve blood circulation and bonding!!
Pay attention to your Papillons culottes , the hair under his belly, inner thighs and - most-around his ears. These spots are matted easily .Spray a little mist on him to prevent his hair from breaking.Start brushing him from the first day on to get him used to it; no matter how long his coat is.Wipe his ears with a soft damp cloth to remove dirt and built-up wax.
