Grooming |
This coat which is considered to be non-shedding requires a tremendous amount of maintenance (brushing and combing daily) to keep it free of mats. Coat care is a commitment you must make to your pup. Imagine what it would feel like if your hair wasn't brushed daily and several weeks later someone suddenly took a brush with sharp prongs and started raking it over your scalp. This is what a wheaten goes through when their owners do not take the 15 minutes daily to brush and then comb them out.

Help Me Groom My Wheaten If you are interested in learning how to groom your pet Wheaten, I highly encourage ordering a copy of the Wheaten Pet Grooming DVD by longtime Wheaten Breeder and Professional Dog Handler, Shari Boyd Carusi. The proceeds from the sale of this DVD go to the Colony Dogs at North Carolina State University School of Veterinary Medicine to support the ongoing research into the heritable diseases in Wheatens! |
