Instructions
Brush coat with a natural bristle brush several times a month to remove dirt and grime and to straighten out the coat.
Bathe the dog infrequently. When you do, brush him with a rubber brush to remove dead skin and hair from the body. Use a whitening shampoo on lighter areas of the coat and rinse well. This breed's head and ears should be lighter in color than the rest of the coat. Keep water out of your Wimaraner's ears while bathing by putting cotton balls in them.
Trim hairs under the feet and between the pads with scissors. Also trim around the edges of the feet if necessary to neaten their appearance. With this breed, you usually don't have to do this often, as they have very few overgrown and/or stray hairs. Use scissors to clip the whiskers, if you want.
Use a Hound Brush after bathing to smooth out the look of the coat.
Apply an aloe skin cream or moisturizer to the elbows of the dog if they become callused. Elbow calluses are common in breeds of similar size and body type as Weimaraners.
