Additional grooming tips for pit bulls
* Pit bulls have short, dense coats that require minimal grooming.
* However, they do shed regularly, so brushing them weekly is important to keep the hair from becoming matted.
* Pit bulls are also prone to skin allergies, so it's essential to use a shampoo that is gentle and non-irritating.
* Pit bulls have floppy ears that can trap moisture and debris, leading to infection. Checking ears regularly and wiping them down with a damp cloth is essential to keep them clean and dry.
* Pit bulls have powerful jaws and sharp teeth, so it's crucial to brush their teeth regularly to prevent plaque buildup and gum disease.
