Grooming guide: American Eskimo Dog
Dense white coat sheds heavily. Self-cleaning coat. Never shave.
In practice that means a weekly grooming cadence for most American Eskimo Dog owners - the double coat sheds or mats fast enough that spacing sessions further apart lets tangles or loose fur build up between visits.
