Care Tips for Butterfly dogs

1

Regular Grooming: Butterfly dogs, or Papillons, have a long, silky coat that requires regular grooming to prevent tangles and mats. Brush their coat several times a week and schedule regular grooming sessions to maintain their coat's health and appearance.

2

Dental Care: Dental hygiene is crucial for Papillons due to their small mouths, which can be prone to dental issues. Brush their teeth regularly with a dog-safe toothpaste and provide dental chews or toys to help keep their teeth clean.

3

Mental and Physical Exercise: Papillons are active and intelligent dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Provide them with daily walks, playtime, and interactive toys to keep them engaged and prevent boredom-related behaviors.
