What are the advantages of small short-haired breeds?

Here's something to note in advance: →Short-haired dog breeds are no guarantee of a hair-free home. Quite the opposite! When it comes to small dog breeds that don't shed, these are usually longer-haired dogs with curly coats like the →Maltipoo or →Maltese.

One advantage, however, is that you can save a lot of time→grooming your dog's coat. You certainly won't need to take your small dog with short fur to the groomer. While you should still brush the coat from time to time, you won't have much more work than that.

Despite their short fur, small short-haired dog breeds can still shed a lot. If brushing doesn't help anymore, you can also give your dog a rinse. Showering helps to remove dead skin flakes and fur, before they end up on your sofa. The rule here is: bathe as much as necessary, as little as possible! With Pets Deli CARE you can care for your small short-haired dog especially gently.
