Regular brushing removes loose hair and distributes natural oils, keeping the coat glossy. Bathe only when necessary to avoid stripping the coat of essential oils.
Trim nails monthly to prevent overgrowth, which can lead to discomfort and difficulty walking. Use a quality nail clipper designed for dogs, and be cautious not to cut into the quick.
Brush your Rottweiler's teeth several times a week to prevent plaque buildup and maintain fresh breath. Offer dental chews and toys to help reduce tartar and keep gums healthy.
Check ears weekly for signs of infection or wax buildup. Clean with a veterinarian-approved solution and cotton balls, avoiding cotton swabs to prevent damage.
Wipe around the eyes regularly with a damp cloth to remove any discharge or debris. Watch for signs of redness or irritation, which may indicate an underlying issue.
Schedule routine check-ups with your veterinarian to ensure your Rottweiler's overall health and catch any potential problems early on.
Provide a balanced diet tailored to your Rottweiler's age, size, and activity level. Fresh water should always be available.
