Grooming Tips

  • 1Tear staining is common - clean around eyes daily with a warm damp cloth.
  • 2Use a whitening shampoo and conditioner formulated for white coats.
  • 3Keep hair out of eyes by using a top knot or trimming the face regularly.
  • 4Brush daily to prevent matting - the single coat tangles easily.
  • 5Avoid colored accessories near the face that can transfer dye to the white coat.
