Bracco Italiano Care

 

  • Grooming: The Bracco Italiano has a short, dense coat that lies close to the body, so its grooming is simple. Brushing 1 or 2 times a week is recommended to remove dead hair and keep the coat clean. Bathing can be done every 6 to 8 weeks or when the dog is truly dirty.
  • Brushing and combing: For its care, it’s suitable to use a soft-bristle brush, a rubber mitt, or a curry-style brush to help remove loose hair and stimulate the skin. Regular brushing also helps distribute the coat’s natural oils and maintain shine.
  • Hair trimming: The Bracco Italiano does not require a haircut. Its coat should be kept natural, limited only to brushing to remove dead hair and a small tidy-up in areas such as the paws if necessary.
  • Special attention: It’s important to pay special attention to its long, drooping ears, as they can trap moisture or dirt. It’s also a good idea to check the folds around the muzzle and lips, clean drool or dirt residue, and keep an eye on the skin’s condition after outings in the countryside.
  • Recommended grooming appointments: Bath every 6 to 8 weeks and maintenance sessions every 6 to 8 weeks for general hygiene, ear check, nail trimming, and monitoring the coat’s condition.
