Grooming

Great Danes require relatively little grooming. They should be bathed approx every other week. Nails should be trimmed weekly. Ears should be cleaned after each bath or weekly if they are dirty. After bathing your dog, inspect for ticks, fleas, cuts, and ear mites. Your dog’s teeth should be brushed twice a week with an enzyme toothpaste for dogs. Danes tend to collect food particles in the back of their cheeks, and if it isn’t cleaned out regularly, you will have expensive tooth decay problems within a few years.

You can also consider giving treats designed to assist with cleaning teeth between brushings. If you are using the BARF diet, then you will find that your Great Danes general health should be considerably better and his teeth and breath should always be smelling fresh.
