If the Bolognese was brushed since it was a puppy, then it would be used to being groomed and it shouldn’t be much of a hassle holding them in one place. Brushing the Bolognese should be done twice a week at the least with a bristle brush and a fine metal comb afterwards to separate the hairs to make it flow nicely.

Bathing should be done once a month but also wash them down if they get too dirty from outdoor activities. Use warm water, shampoo and lather well. Drying would be best by using a towel and running the hands through the coat while blow drying. Then brush and comb for the final touch!

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

Also being a minimal shedder and dander ranks them up high with allergic dog lovers.  However, one must consider taking a huge pinch of salt with those qualities. Owners must also consider that the Bolognese have destructive tendencies when left alone. This is their form of separation anxiety. Incessant barking is also a trait that can irritate neighbors. Although they are hypoallergenic, constant brushing must be done and you will need a huge amount of patience for housebreaking.  Lastly, this dog isn’t quite easy to find or pay for. Waiting list can be long and price tags are extreme for this breed.

Why take your dog to the vet if you can give it a check-up yourself?
