Caring for a Short-Haired Jack Russell
- Maintenance: Brush once a week to remove excess moulted hair and bathe monthly to keep clean.
Grooming: Shorthaired breeds should not be clipped as they renew their coats. You can help by brushing the coat with a rubber mitt or brush to remove the excess hair and reduce shedding at home.
Special Attention: Pay extra attention to the pet's elbows as the skin there is prone to drying and cracking. Also keep an eye on any skin folds which can trap dirt and bacteria that can lead to irritation.
Recommended Grooming Appointments: A monthly bath is sufficient to help out with the shedding of this breed, make sure to use a moisturising shampoo to benefit both hair and skin.

What is the Jack Russell like?
The Jack Russell Terrier is an active and playful dog, known for their intelligence, cunning and outgoing personality.
They are very loving and affectionate to their family, but can be stubborn. Due to their energectic nature they need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy.
They make excellent companions for active families and dog owners with time to spare.
However due to their strong hunting instinct they can be aggressive towards other small animals, so it is important to socialise them properly from an early age to avoid any behavioural issues.
