Groom an American Eskimo Dog

Brush out the cottony coat at least twice a week with a natural bristle brush. If needed, use a pin brush and metal combs to remove tangles or knots. When they are shedding, brush your American Eskimo Dog every day. In general, they shed an average amount of hair.

Clip the whiskers with scissors if you desire. This isn't necessary, but many prefer the whisker free look.

Trim stray hairs from the feet to the hocks with thinning shears. Trim hairs underneath the feet with scissors.

Check the inner ear canal for overgrown hair, which you should pluck. Don't trim the hair on the outer ear, as this provides protection.
