Instructions
Brush the dog at least twice per month with a natural bristle brush. Regular grooming eliminates the need for frequent baths. Whippets are a short-haired breed and shed an average amount of hair.
Bathe the dog when absolutely necessary, using a whitening shampoo on the lighter areas of the dog's coat. Brush with a rubber brush while bathing to remove excess shed hair. Apply a little coat conditioner to add extra shine to the body. Whippets have no natural canine odor.
Run a chamois cloth over the dog's coat frequently to keep it shiny and healthy in appearance.
Apply an aloe skin cream to the elbows, which have a tendency to become callused in breeds the size and build of Whippets.
Use scissors to trim the dog's whiskers if you wish.
