Ease of grooming

The Portuguese Pointing Dog   does not shed a lot and is easy to maintain . However, his care must be provided on a regular basis .

Brushing the dog once a week removes the few dead hairs and any debris, while preventing the appearance of external parasites. It can be bathed occasionally , as needed.

Its hair, ears, eyes and pads should be examined after each outing in the wild to detect and remove any debris or external parasites. His teeth need to be brushed frequently to remove tartar build-up and the proliferation of bacteria. Finally, if they do not wear out naturally, its claws need to be cut. If you are new to this, it is recommended that you seek advice from a veterinarian or groomer.
