Care Tips for Schipperkes

1

Ensure regular exercise: Schipperkes are energetic dogs that require daily physical activity, such as walks, playtime, or agility exercises, to keep them healthy and prevent boredom.

2

Maintain a balanced diet: Provide a high-quality dog food appropriate for their age, size, and activity level, and monitor their weight to prevent obesity, which can lead to health issues.

3

Regular grooming: Brush their dense coat weekly to minimize shedding and prevent matting, and check their ears, teeth, and nails regularly to ensure overall hygiene and health.
