How to Groom a Rottweiler

Rottweilers are a breed of dog that typically ranges from a medium to a larger size. Their coats are usually comprised of short, rough fur easy to maintain. The average Rottweiler is strong, obedient and requires little grooming, making it a great choice for a pet.

• Brush your puppy or dog on a regular basis. Since the breed has short fur, you only need to brush him or her once or twice per month. Use a natural bristle brush to remove any excess hair on your dog.


• Clip his or her nails monthly to save your floor as well as help to prevent pain in your Rott's feet. Purchase a styptic pen to stop any bleeding that may occur, if you accidentally take the nail down to the quick. Try to never cut down that far, because it is quite painful for your pup.


• Clean your Rottweiler’s ears out monthly. Purchase ear cleaning solution as any pet supply store, or most superstores carry the solution also. Apply using a cotton ball or a Q-tip. Be sure you do not go too deep in the ear because as a result you may do damage to your Rottweiler’s hearing or ear canal.


• Brush your Rottweiler’s teeth at once or twice a month. Use a special toothpaste made for dogs; human toothpaste is dangerous for dogs. Give your puppy or dog bones on a regular basis to help keep teeth white and to assist in tartar removal.
