How to Groom a Bullmastiff

By eHow Pets Editor

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Scissors
Rubber brush
Conditioner and shampoo
Hound brush
Eye makeup remover
Talcum powder

Step 1:
Use scissors to clip the dog's whiskers if you choose.
Step 2:
Remove extra shed hair during the bath by brushing the dog's coat with a rubber brush. Bullmastiffs don't shed very much hair, so it shouldn't be a hard task.
Step 3:
Apply a final coat conditioner after you've shampooed your Bullmastiff. The conditioner improves your dog's overall appearance. Rub it gently into the coat and brush it in as evenly as possible. Shampoo the dog infrequently to keep from irritating the skin.
Step 4:
Brush the coat with a hound brush while drying.
Step 5:
Clean the dog's furrows using a piece of cotton coated with eye makeup remover.
Step 6:
Dry the dog's furrows entirely after the bath. Apply talcum powder within the furrows.
Step 7:
Trim the dog's nails regularly and check his feet often to make sure they are in good shape.
