Papillons Hair Maintenance/ Coat Care

Re-posting from November 2009!!

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 on back thighs), 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.
