How often do Bichon Frise need to be groomed?

Bichons do require routine grooming. As a young dog, it is imperative that you get the dog used to regular grooming. A full brush out 2 to 3 times a week is best with baths every 1 to 2 weeks. Never brush a dry coat, always lightly mist with a hydrating spray.

How do I make my Bichon Frise Fluffy?

Use a hydrating spray, found at your local pet store, and give your dog’s coat a quick spray before you start brushing. Brush up and out for a fluffy look.
