BATHING & GROOMING YOUR SHICHON PUPPY OR MALSHI PUPPY

Grooming is a must.  Bathing once every week to every other week will keep your malshi puppy's or shichon puppy's coat clean and healthy, and it will prevent matting of the hair.  If a gentle shampoo is used, a malshi puppy or shichon puppy can be bathed weekly without drying out its coat.  You could also dilute the shampoo to make it softer and not as harsh on their flesh.  Blow dry after bathing to warm up your malshi puppy or shichon puppy and give them the fluffy look.

Having a supply of baby wipes on hand can be helpful for spot cleaning should their paws, faces, or bottoms need cleaning between baths.

A gentle comb through once a day with a wire comb for long coats or every other day for puppy cuts will prevent matting from occuring.  A quick brush through with a slicker brush after combing will give your malshi puppy's or shichon puppy's coat a fluffy finish.
