Irish Setter Care
- Grooming: The Irish Setter has a long, silky coat with feathering that requires high maintenance. Brushing at least 3 times a week is recommended to prevent tangles and remove dirt or dead hair. Bathing can be done every 4 to 6 weeks or when the dog is really dirty.
- Brushing and combing: For care, it is recommended to use a metal pin brush or a slicker brush, along with a metal comb to check the coat. It’s important to work especially on feathered areas such as the ears, chest, legs, and tail, where hair can tangle easily.
- Hair Trimming: The Irish Setter doesn’t require full haircuts, but does need tidying to maintain its natural outline. Commonly, the hair on the legs is shaped, along with the ear edges, the rear area, and the chest, and the hair between the paw pads is trimmed to improve hygiene.
- Special attention: Special attention should be paid to areas where the hair is longer, such as behind the ears, armpits, chest, back of the legs, and tail, as tangles can form. It’s also important to check the long, drop ears to prevent moisture or dirt buildup.
- Recommended grooming appointments: Bath every 4 to 6 weeks and grooming sessions every 6 to 8 weeks for coat maintenance, feather tidying, de-matting, and overall hygiene control.
